OWL UxD Research

Welcome to the Research area of the Purdue OWL. This section houses scholarship and research - past and present - on OWLs. Please check back as we continue to expand this section.

In the Fall of 2014, the Purdue Online Writing Lab partnered with Prof. Michael Salvo's ENGL 515: Advanced Professional Writing (Capstone) class to begin exploring issues of usability and user-centered design (UxD) on the Purdue OWL. Below, you can access Prof. Salvo's class' final report and recommendations to the Purdue OWL Staff.
