The Bedford Bibliography of Research in Writing Instruction contains over 540 annotations of resources in online writing instruction (OWI) from 1990 to 2019.

OWI in this context is defined as “using computer technology to learn writing from a teacher, tutor, or other students and by using it to communicate about that writing, share writing for learning purposes, and to present writing for course completion purposes. Being online can mean working at a geographic distance or even in an onsite computer lab using technology that enables the learning about and sharing of writing; in essence, the computer technology facilitates the communication about writing, often through an LMS" (Hewett, “Grounding Principles for OWI” 36).

This bibliography is organized according to the CCCC Position Statement of Principles and Example Effective Practices in OWI (2014). The bibliography aids researchers in online writing instruction by providing current research vetted by experts in the field.
