KCI offers the most comprehensive and challenging online writing course. It's built around the following process: brainstorm, organize, write, and revise. At each stage, the course explains several writing methods and provides sample documents. You critique the samples, then compare your findings with those of others. The course also makes you responsible for judging your own writing and scoring yourself on the review questions. The ongoing writing assignments give you real experience, if you're willing to work through them. For an additional fee, KCI offers individualized feedback. The course also connects you to online writers' references, including KCI's style guide.
