description
This half-day workshop will guide and encourage authors interested in composing digital scholarship for online journals. Editors will discuss authoring processes from the beginning of research projects to the publication stage, including visualizing your design to add value to your research project, storyboarding/prototyping, creating sustainable and accessible designs, querying editors, finding local resources, submitting webtexts, and revising in-progress work. Although the workshop’s primary emphasis will be on webtext-sized digital scholarship (for journals like Kairos), authors interested in larger projects such as online collections and digital books will also benefit from this workshop. The editors in attendance can also speak to individual authors’ needs regarding the teaching and evaluating of digital scholarship.

CIWIC was an internationally recognized two-week workshop to teach college-level instructors how to teach writing using digital technologies and multiple media. These two workshops focused on (1) how to consider collaborators as an audience when building websites, including consideration of information architecture, filenaming conventions, etc. , and (2) how to use rhetorical analysis as a basis for interpreting multimodal texts, which can be useful to also assign students to compose such texts.
