Baker, Lori B. “Looking On and Overlooking: An Analysis of Oversight in Online Tutoring.” Praxis 5.2 (2008): 6 pp. Oct. 2008.
Online tutoring needs to preserve “the theoretical and pedagogical foundations that are […] most important in a writing center” (3). It can benefit oversight for it allows for transparency in the tutoring process and it can promote collaboration and extend writing center theory. However, caution needs to be exercised to ensure that the oversight environment does not become oppressive. This writer seems to hold an instrumental view of OWLs and is in favor of exploiting the technology not only in terms of tutoring but also in terms of the way in which it can help writing center administrators monitor tutoring.
