Crossing Wires with Google Apps: Jumpstarting Collaborative Composing

Abstract

This paper presents results from a multi-year, two-school combined study of student attitudes toward the use of Google Apps for Education (since renamed G Suite for Education) for collaborative composing in first year composition classes. Preliminary results suggest that remediating the composing process as collaborative, convenient, and cloud-based in Google Docs via Google Drive resulted in a remediation through reform of traditional composition pedagogy.
