Remote TPC Internships: Infrastructures for Success
Bay, Jennifer; Fillenwarth, Gracemarie Mike; Masters-Wheeler, Christine
Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, v52 n4 p386-410 Oct 2022
Though the remote internship is certainly not a new phenomenon, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the growth of this model for undergraduate experiential learning. As we consider this shift, we must evaluate how to best assist students completing remote internships. In this article, we argue that infrastructure offers a useful framework for understanding students' internship experience and corresponding professionalization. We present two case studies of student remote internship experiences, analyzing areas of challenge and success through the infrastructural areas of writing projects, communication, and logistics. We offer recommendations for faculty working with remote student interns to promote positive learning experiences.
