When the literature about the writing expression of hearing-impaired students is reviewed, it is seen that there arestudies in which the effectiveness of several approaches and the writing process are analysed, assessment andevaluation aspects are considered and comparisons are made with the level of skills of non-impaired peers. On theother hand, there is a need for researches regarding the method of implementation of writing lessons. In this study, it isexplained how the pre-writing stage for the writing of a text is performed with hearing-impaired students throughInteractive Writing. The study, based on the action research method, was conducted during the Fall term of the2015-2016 academic year, at the Integrated School for the Handicapped of Anadolu University, located in Eskisehirprovince of Turkey. Participants of the study were seven hearing-impaired second-year students enrolled to theComputer Operating department. During the study, nine lessons were made based on the principles and components ofthe Balanced Literacy Instruction Approach (BLIA). Among the nine lessons, four of them were performed withinteractive writing. When the language skill levels of the hearing-impaired students group of the study was considered,Interactive Writing was determined to be the most effective writing component for the group. However, the mosteffective writing component can be different for another hearing-impaired student group. Writing levels of the students,the types and amount of support they need and their level of knowledge about the text to be written were decisive in thedetermination of writing components.

This text explores the material implications of electronic reading and writing in the Anthropocene. It does so by briefly examining the consequences that the production and usage of electronic devices has on ecosystems and social contexts. Different perspectives on how a reader or writer may deal with the negative effects of sociotechnical systems are offered: restraint, pharmacological awareness and togetherness. Such perspectives can be transformed into reading and writing tools for the Anthropocene that may allow readers and writers of electronic literature to integrate the notion of an extended community, that is, an intimate and paradoxical complicity with nearby and remote humans and non-humans, and invite them into the digital text.

This article investigates the case of François Bon's pseudo-translation of Malt Olbren's The Creative Writing No-Guide (2013). If Bon believes that the making public of writing atelier practices is crucial, then why does he share his know-how by means of a pseudo-translation? Moreover, why does he limit himself to a digital version? I will first argue that Bon's choice for the digital format not only fits within his general move towards the Internet, but also has to do with the audience he targets. Then, I will show how The Creative Writing No-Guide's set-up as a pseudo-translation permits Bon not only to criticize more conventional handbooks through means of parody, but also to transmit writing tools successfully by means of what sociologist Richard Sennett calls expressive instructions.

Young women who trade sex experience high rates of stigma that exacerbate existing health inequities. The products of participatory visual methodologies show promising potential for challenging stigma. In total, 15 young women who trade sex created individual brief videos to share their experiences. Following a participatory analysis, the videos were edited into one composite movie to highlight key messages. Eight facilitated screenings (cohosted by participant filmmakers and research team members) were organized with diverse community and health organizations. Audiences were led through a series of interactive writing, drawing, viewing, and discussion activities. Sessions were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and inductively analyzed to assess the impacts of the film on audiences. Audience reactions were categorized into four overarching themes to describe main impacts: consciousness raising, commitments to practice and organizational change, effectiveness of the approach, and limitations. Audience responses demonstrated that facilitated screenings can challenge harmful stereotypes and help viewers consider pathways to enact positive change in their personal and professional lives. However, changing deep-rooted patterns of stigma takes time, dedication, and accountability.

Collaborative writing tools have been used widely in professional and academic organizations for many years. Yet, there has not been much work to improve screen reader access in mainstream collaborative writing tools. This severely affects the way people with vision impairments collaborate in ability-diverse teams. As a step toward addressing this issue, the present article aims at improving screen reader representation of collaborative features such as comments and track changes (i.e., suggested edits). Building on our formative interviews with 20 academics and professionals with vision impairments, we developed auditory representations that indicate comments and edits using non-speech audio (e.g., earcons, tone overlay), multiple text-to-speech voices, and contextual presentation techniques. We then performed a systematic evaluation study with 48 screen reader users that indicated that non-speech audio, changing voices, and contextual presentation can potentially improve writers’ collaboration awareness. We discuss implications of these results for the design of accessible collaborative systems.
