The Computer Writing and Research Lab administers five computer-assisted classrooms. Teaching for the CWRL means more than adjusting to the hardware and physical set-up of the rooms: technology allows us to expose our students to a wider world of texts, to enhance students' imaginative investment in course subject matter, to foster different kinds of discussion, to illustrate in new ways how language performs, and to take our pedagogy public.

In short, the CWRL is creating a new humanities classroom--new not just in physical configuration, but also in the ways instructors reach their teaching goals.
