The purpose of this project is to better understand current challengesand potential solutions related to online teaching by creating a space to discuss pedagogical affordances and constraints of online writing instruction with online and hybrid writing instructors from different institutions serving in a variety of roles with different positions and years of experience.  \nPlease feel free to use the following transcripts for your own pedagogical or research purposes to further education and scholarship related to online and hybrid writing instruction. Note that all names are pseudonyms and identifying information (e.g. , institutional names and references to states) has been removed.  \nBackground and Methodology  \nIn 2022, we created an IRB-approved, follow-up survey to the 2021 State of the Art of Online Writing Instruction (SoA OWI) Survey (CCCC, 2021) to help us better understand responses from the 2021 survey and hone the survey instrument for future research. We asked three questions first included in the 2021 survey before asking related, semantic questions. At the end of the survey, participants were given an opportunity to indicate interest in a follow-up, virtual focus group to continue discussing OWI with other online and hybrid teachers and scholars.  \nThe follow-up survey was sent to participants who completed the 2021 SoA of OWI survey and indicated interest in follow-up focus groups. We received twenty-one (21) responses to the follow-up survey with eighteen (18) of those respondents indicating their interest to participate in a focus group. Those eighteen (18) people are the focus of this project and participated in semi-structured and open-ended conversations related to online teaching challenges (Brunk-Chavez & Miller, 2007; Cargile Cook & Grant-Davie, 2013; Hewett & DePew, 2015) and institutional pandemic responses (Krause, 2023) .  \nParticipants met in groups of three via Zoom for 45-60 minutes, discussing three specific, guiding questions related to this project as well as any additional topics they considered relevant to OWI:  \n1. What do you believe is the most challenging thing about teaching online?  \n2. Have you solved or do you have any ideas or suggestions to alleviate","cbCaic4IypjgRJEs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic4IypjgRJEs","pdf",548462,98,"English","# Overview and Purpose\n## Background and Methodology\n## References\n# Focus Group 1: Elizabeth, Dayna, & Joy\n# Focus Group 2: Samuel, Lynn, & Kevin\n# Focus Group 3: Barbara, Brynn, & Helen\n# Focus Group 4: Meghan, Clara, & Haley\n# Focus Group 5: Paula, Sylvia, & Moe\n# Focus Group 6: Richard, Kendra, & Suzanne\n# Focus Group 7: Vera, Hal, & Liz","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the follow-up focus group project?\",\"answer\":\"The project aims to understand challenges and potential solutions in online teaching by discussing pedagogical affordances and constraints with online and hybrid writing instructors across institutions and roles.\"},{\"question\":\"How were participants selected for the focus groups?\",\"answer\":\"Participants completed an IRB-approved follow-up survey after the 2021 OWI survey and indicated interest in joining virtual focus groups.
