Refimprove date January 2011 An OnlineWriting Lab OWL is often an extension of a university writing center . Onlinewriting labs offer help to students and other writers by providing literacy materials, such as handouts and overhead projector slide presentations . Writers may also submit questions electronically for feedback. Many OWLs are open to people unaffiliated with the specific institution. Onlinewriting labs play an important part in writing center assistance because they allow writers to use some of the center s resources remotely. Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana , US launched the first OWL in 1994. OWL history In 1976, the Department of English at Purdue University asked Dr. Muriel Mickey Harris to establish its Writing Lab, a campus based service designed to assist learners in their rhetorical writing processes. Harris began the Writing Lab by collaborating with a team of graduate assistants, who worked one to one with student writers and often developed handouts to reinforce the lessons the students learned in the Writing Lab. The writing tutors and Harris sent paper copies of their materials to individuals beyond Purdue University who contacted the Writing Lab requesting information on writing, citation, or research. Later, these resources became available electronically through email requests and through GOPHER in 1993, a precursor to the World Wide Web . Harris and the Purdue Writing Lab launched its OWL on the web in 1995, making it one of the first OWLs on the Internet. Having made its library of resources available electronically, the Purdue OWL ref http owl.english.purdue.edu 20 The Purdue OWL . ref is now accessed by millions of users worldwide.

Structured writing is a form of technical writing that uses and creates structured document s. The term was coined by Robert E. Horn and became a central part of his Information Mapping method of analyzing, organizing, and displaying knowledge in print and in the new online presentation of text and graphics. Horn and colleagues identified dozens of common documentation types, then analyzed them into structural components called information blocks. They identified over 200 common block types. These were assembled into information types using information maps. The seven most common information types were concept, procedure, process, principle, fact, structure, and classification. These types are loosely related to the three basic information types in Darwin Information Typing Architecture concept, task, and reference. An Information Mapping procedure is a set of steps for a person. A process is a set of steps for a system. Both resemble the DITA task. DITA topics are assembled into documents using DITA maps.

Orphan date February 2009 Refimprove date November 2007 Rice writing is the art and skill of being able to write small enough to write on a grain of rice . History Rice writing originated in Ancient Anatolia and India. Many rituals and rites use rice as a medium, but at some point in ancient Anatolia artisans who were skilled in making miniature paintings decided to turn their skill to making art with what had always been an ancient symbol of prosperity, the oldest example of which lies in Topkapi Palace in Istanbul. The artisans would inscribe messages or names on a single grain of rice after it was treated and polished. Grains that were long and flat were favorites as they offered proper surfaces for writing. Apart from Turkey, India also had a large number of artisans skilled in making miniature art including rice art. Rice art Symbolism Rice art is considered to bring good luck hence some of its most popular forms is good luck pendants, hope bracelets and cell phone charms. To examine why rice art is considered auspicious and a symbol of good luck we need to first realize that as the medium of this art, rice in itself is symbolic of the same.
