Writing in an academic/scientific community is considered as one of the major skills that universities have to impart. Technology can support the teaching and learning processes of this skill in many ways. Peer reviewing, collaborative writing, process documentation and writing instructions are only a few of well established applications so far. This SIG aims to group colleagues who are interested in the topic and who wish to share their experience within a wide range of educational contexts.
