Why work with us?

Borgman, Ph.D. and McArdle, Ph.D. have been online writing instructors and course designers for over a decade. They both began teaching online with no experience at for-profit schools. They have since worked to grow their careers together and individually in the fields of rhetoric and writing studies, technical communication, and user experience (UX). 

In 2015, they created The OWI Community and the PARS framework for online writing instruction. They have presented for multiple institutions across the country and been featured speakers by organizations, such as the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCCs), Bedford/St. Martin's, and the Council of Writing Program Administrators. They were featured in an interview for the National Council of Teachers of English Council Chronicle in 2020. They served as mentors for the CCCCs Emergent Researcher award winner for the 2021 year. 

Borgman and McArdle's 2019 book won the Computers and Composition Distinguished Book Award.  In 2020 and 2021, they hosted two free online writing instruction symposiums featuring keynote speakers and various OWI scholars.
