Acknowledgements
With thanks to everyone who has contributed to the development of the Wrasse project.
WrAssE is based on an original idea by John Hilsdon and started life as the 'Assignment Project' with a small grant from the Institute for Learning and Teaching in 2002. The framework of 'functions of writing' was developed as a result of research conducted with staff and students at the University of Plymouth. The 'qualities of writing' were a later addition by consultant on the project, Helen Beetham. The project has progressed to its current phase with support from the LearnHigher CETL, the National Teaching Fellowship scheme, and Plymouth University.
Many people have been involved in the project. We would like to offer particular thanks to:
The Educational Development and Learning Techologies (EDaLT) team, particularly Mark Lyndon and Mark Pannell for the original web resource and database (2006).
