What Are We Communicating to Students When We Write?
Do we communicate more with students in writing than we used to? I think so.

We exchange emails, post announcements on course management systems, and participate in online discussions. Those who use PowerPoint tend to make rather text-heavy slides. And if you happen to teach online, then virtually all your communication with students occurs via some written format.
