About this site

Hey there, Bruins!

We're WI+RE (Writing Instruction + Research Education), a UCLA community focused on helping all learners succeed in their writing and research projects.

We make short, practical research and writing tips that you can quickly view online.

The WI+RE team develops and continually improves a toolbox of open-access online learning modules that can be used by both instructors and students.

In each of our projects we strive to:

  • Help learners develop their research and writing skills as they explore and critically engage with their areas of inquiry.
  • Provide teachers with well-designed instructional materials that can be included in their courses as required, extra-credit, or optional assignments.
  • Communicate the range of research and writing support available on campus.
  • Foster inclusive excellence, with a focus on addressing the core and hidden challenges in research, reading, and writing tasks.

We're learners, too.

As a group of students, teachers, librarians, and academic support staff across the UCLA campus, we're constantly exploring new approaches to teaching and learning online.

Our partners include the Center for Digital Humanities, UCLA Library, the Undergraduate Research Centers, and Writing Programs.

Let us know your thoughts, questions, feedback, and ideas for future projects!
