Ideas to reinvigorate Peer Centered

["Clinton R. Gardner" <gardnecl@englab.slcc.edu>]

Hi all, 

As I said last week, I'm feeling the urge to give up working on Peer  
Centered, the real-time forum for peer writing tutors. In any case, 
since we  had a subject scheduled for this week (Going Online, a 
discussion about  tutoring through online media), I thought we 
could give Peer Centered  one more try.  I'm wondering about 
the overall pattern of Peer  Centered conversations.  Would it 
be more feasible to convert Peer  Centered from a real-time 
conversation into a less time-constrained  format using a web 
board?  We already have a web board set up for  Peer 
Centered, but it hasn't had much action.  If you want to see what 
 the potential of the web board is, the address for it is  
http://bessie.englab.slcc.edu/discus/ .  I am assuming that if I 
advertised  this format folks would have more opportunity to 
participate. 

In any case the web board format would be similar...we would 
have  weekly topics people could contribute to.  I am thinking 
that we could  have the real-time sessions as special events. 

What do you all think?
