Digital WPA: A Digital Writing Instruction Resource
About the Digital WPA
Digital WPA provides resources (e.g. assignment sheets, handbooks for students and faculty, syllabi, lesson plans) from six institutions with First-Year Writing programs. Each of the six institutions required students to complete digital projects. Each received the CCCC Writing Program Certificate of Excellence (WPCE) Award between 2004 to 2018: Marquette University, North Carolina University at Charlotte, The Ohio State University, Purdue University, Salt Lake Community College, University of Texas-El Paso.
