IWCA Forum: Peer Tutor => What do we call ourselves: the poll!

By Clint Gardner November 30, 2006

I have posted a poll in the IWCA forums: IWCA Forum: Peer Tutor => What do we call ourselves: the poll! It is a part of an earlier discussion that kind of petered out about the titles used for writing center workers. Please take a moment and vote! If you don't have an account on the forum, you can register for one by clicking on the "Register" link (next to the rocket icon in the top-right of the page.) Don't forget to state your institutional affiliation when you request and account. (That's how the IWCA Forum keeps out spam accounts.)

The Importance of Being Both A Tutor And A Learner

By C. Robbie Ptacek January 06, 2022

As a frightened freshman, I wandered deep in the bowels of the library basement. My eyes darted from room number to room number, looking for the aid my professor promised I could find. At the end of the hall, a golden light shone from an open doorway. My approach was slow and I lingered on the threshold. All uncertainty vanished when I was greeted with a smile and welcomed into the new world of the Tutoring Center.

I think this is unfortunate because there is much that a tutor can gain from being a learner. It was my freshman year of college and everything was new. For me, that meant that fear...

Higher Education Writing Centers Gave Up Their Battle Against A.I.

By Anthony David Vernon February 04, 2025

There are no universally decided upon means by which higher education institutions should tackle artificial intelligence in the writing center. Nonetheless, there are a few writing centers that have made their stance on artificial intelligence clear which grants insight into how higher education institutions currently handle and will handle artificial intelligence in writing centers. Either way, higher education writing centers will be forced to evolve as generative artificial intelligences are used by an ever greater proportion of the higher education student population. This presentation with examine the attitudes of university writing centers who have made their attitudes on AI in the writing center public. Those universities include Saginaw Valley State University, the University of Tennessee, the University of Michigan, and Missouri State University. Each institution while not distant in attitude, holds particular ideas on AI in their writing centers. How writin...
