Please Forward TO: Dr. Jon Wallace Dear Dr. Wallace: I have a product that may be of interest to you for use by your students. After two years of design and implementation work, we are about to release the Alpha version of a web-based service to help college students improve their writing. Focus user groups have shown great promise, as students who have never scored well on a paper do much better using our web service. Our company was formed by a group of people who are from both the academic community mainly concerned with teaching composition, and from the high tech area. We’ve come together to create a product we believe will help any college student who struggles to get started writing a paper. The methodology was developed over the years in the college classroom to help students who have difficulty developing the content for assignment writing, and particularly those who wait until the last minute to begin their assignment. The benefit of the web-based service is that a student can write a paper without the precise knowledge of the required form (book report, argument, business paper, motivational speech, etc.), thus enabling the user to concentrate on the content of their particular work. Basically, the new paradigm is to let the computer take care of the correct form of the required writing and the user is thereby free to develop the correct content as they are lead through a session of well thought out questions that differ according to the paper type or assignment. However, every word of the writing produced is that of the student; plagiarism is avoided. This process does not make up for a student’s lack of research or understanding of a subject. However, a student who understands their subject can quickly produce a well formed paper. While we spend a great deal of attention on the questions asked to generate student content, the content of the web site, including the questions, is driven by an on-line editor enabling a teacher to tailor a writing assignment around their own requirements. While this is probably not a tool for use in a student composition class where teachers require more traditional methods, it has proven highly successful in the focus groups we have done in just about all other categories of student use. We would be honored if Azusa Pacific University would offer our service to your students. Please let me know your interest in our product; I would be glad to provide you with a demonstration. Thanks very much. Sincerely, Vince Scarlata Vice President of Sales, Late Night Writer, LLC 719-687-6958 vince.scarlata@latenightwriter.com www.latenightwriter.
