The collaborative work of Joyce Magnotto Neff and Carl Whithuas, “Writing Across Distances & Disciplines: Research And Pedagogy In Distributed Learning” addresses questions that arise from the onsite, hybrid, and distributed learning environments, including places of higher education and the workplace; and between ‘distance education’ and ‘composition pedagogy’. A slender (186-page) volume, “Writing Across Distances & Disciplines” informatively raises critical issues, clarifies key terms, reviews relevant history and theory, analyzes current research, reconsiders pedagogy, explores specific applications of WAC and WID in distributed environments, and considers what business and education might teach one another about writing and learning. “Writing Across Distances & Disciplines” is a seminal work that, while especially recommended to educators and administrators with respect to written communications, will prove of interest to non-specialist general readers, scholars, students, and professional writers with an interest in the technological future of writing and learning in higher education.
