This video essay presents and discusses two consultant education assignments designed to foster critical inquiry into consulting place and space: an (offline) technical description of place and an (online) interface analysis. The video essays describes these two assignments in detail and offers follow-up discussion, considering what has worked well, what could yet be improved, and how the assignments may productively evolve in the future.

This is really cool. Thank you for sharing these assignments and some of the ways you all are thinking through how they might usefully inform discussions in and about writing centers.
I'm teaching a graduate course on professional writing this semester, and I think the students would really benefit from learning from your video. A conundrum we're thinking about in that class is genres—for assignments, LMS spaces—change from instructor to instructor.
