Write Now takes an evidence and theory-based approach to the development of its work with students and staff, and we investigate the effectiveness of our initiatives through a comprehensive programme of research.

Current projects include:

• Writing in the disciplines action research collaborations with staff
• Effectiveness of peer-led writing tutorials on student learning, achievement and retention
• Lecturers’ perceptions of assessment, marking and feedback
• International students’ experiences of academic writing in the UK
• Using wikis and blogs to support writing development
• Feedback quality in an age of widening participation.
