The Dissertation Coach draws on dissertation writing strategies to affect individual student characteristics. As students interact with the Dissertation Coach by responding to evaluations of individual writing practices, they receive personalized feedback that encourages effective writing habits. It collects ongoing data on students’ challenges and pedagogical complications in dissertation writing and supervisory practices, and offers consistent writing feedback that dissertation advisors often cannot provide for lack of time. Among other benefits, the platform enables inclusive learning: students with disabilities, off-site students, and first-generation students can access the platform from wherever they are, in whatever form works best for them. The tool’s purpose is to engage early dissertation writers in effective writing habits: it molds behavior for long-form academic writing. Because of the interdisciplinary composition of the student body using the tool, the Dissertation Coach offers “writing across the disciplines” advice. It has the potential to impact early dissertation writers from across the University. Moreover, the Dissertation Coach can be adapted to specific departments or disciplines by adding content tailored for those units. This means the Dissertation Coach is both scalable and replicable: scalable, because it can be easily offered open-access to all graduate students; and replicable, because its interdisciplinary content can be easily augmented with discipline-specific messages.
