✦ Synopsis

Conducting a writing class by way of a mainframe network changes relationships among students and instructor. Writers file texts in a central directory. In the classroom less, they spend more time reading and learning from each others' texts. Instructorial authority is diffused. Traditional habits, like noting corrections in margins, begin to look like opportunities presented by paper technology instead of instructional necessities. Also: tentative comparisons of classroom and network psychology; data about time spent by participants; endorsement of network pedagogy.
