Research Progress Report

I have looked through my annotated bibliography and the research of my classmates, and now I am feeling a little stuck. I have found some useful information about online writing labs, but the more I find, the more it seems to all look the same. Most of my sources discuss issues concerning student usage, logistics, community response, and impacts on the writing process itself. This is fine, but how much more can you say about these topics? When I come to a bump in the road, it is usually because I tend to find more sources about on-site writing labs rather than online writing labs. I'm not sure where else I can look, without repeating some of the locations of my previous sources.

Right now, I would really like to see some research or information about student responses to online writing centers. I can probably go to some online centers across the country to see if they have a commentary page, but I am not sure if this would be considered a reputable source for research. It would be more like doing my own research, instead of drawing from the research of others. Maybe looking at testimonies would be too subjective for the purpose of research. However, I do think it is something that I would like to look into.

For now, I will have to return to the library for more one-on-one assistance to find more information. Perhaps this will be the solution to my problem.
