Who's Afraid of Facebook? A Survey of Students' Online Writing Practices
David Gold; Jathan Day; Adrienne E. Raw
College Composition and Communication, v72 n1 p4-30 Sep 2020
We surveyed 803 undergraduates at a large public university about their online writing practices. We find that despite wide platform access, students typically write in a narrow range of spaces for limited purposes and audiences, with a majority expressing rhetorical concerns about writing in digital spaces. These findings suggest rich opportunities for writing instructors to better help students negotiate the terrain of online public discourse.
