When my student dictates his ideas to a scribe, he is in fact giving an impromptu speech, which is an important skill, to be sure, but a different one than creating a cohesive and coherent written text. I'm concerned that allowing my student to dictate his work will shortchange his learning in my course, but I also want to be sure that research supports the need to have him do his own typing. Thus, my desire for resources that discuss working with blind students in basic writing. -----Original Message----- From: Open Forum for Learning Assistance Professionals [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of William W.

I'm wondering about the problem with the process-writing approach and why it wouldn't fit with dictation to a scribe. Would dictation to a voice-to-text software program have the same conflict? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To access the LRNASST-L archives or User Guide, or to change your subscription options (including subscribe/unsubscribe), point your web browser to http://www.lists.ufl.edu/archives/lrnasst-l.html To contact the LRNASST-L owner, email [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To access the LRNASST-L archives or User Guide, or to change your subscription options (including subscribe/unsubscribe), point your web browser to http://www.lists.ufl.edu/archives/lrnasst-l.html To contact the LRNASST-L owner, email [log in to unmask]
