<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The conference will explore innovation in writing analytics, with special attention to broadening our annual conference community. We invite presentations on present research findings and new directions for
research. This year, the conference especially invites presentations on the following themes:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">How may the stakeholder community of writing analytics be better understood? </span></em>This theme will be devoted to the kinds of disciplinary knowledge and multidisciplinary collaborations that are needed
to expand the body of knowledge associated with our community.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Who are the stakeholders of writing analytics?</span></em> Traditionally, we think of key educational stakeholders as the following: advisory boards, administration, faculty, parents, professional organizations,
students, and the public. These groups, however, may need to be expanded when we think of information use and research impact.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">How might writing analytics be more widely communicated to stakeholders?</span></em> Conference presentations, peer-reviewed articles, and book chapters are common ways to distribute research findings. Yet
these vehicles are limited to academic stakeholders. Needed is a new communication taxonomy for writing analytics.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">How may we better understand the consequences of our research for student learning?</span></em> Many web-based platforms are now using archival and real-time analytics for feedback. Little is known however,
regarding the impact of these platforms and the information they contain diverse student groups.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Accepted conference presentations will be invited to work with the editors of <em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Journal of Writing Analytics</span></em> to propose and develop manuscripts for
publication in Volume 3.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
