As first opponent on this Norwegian disputation (completed in English), I was responsible for

  • reading a completed draft of the dissertation,
  • writing up a report outlining why (and whether) I thought it was defendable
  • working with the examination committee to create a topic for Eikenes’ “public trial” [presentation based on his dissertation]
  • articulating a set of questions to pose during his disputation [defense]
  • deciding, in consultation with the research committee, whether the candidate would pass the defense.

description
I discuss an undergraduate writing class where students learn to read, peer review, and write their own digital scholarship that draws on multiple media and modes of production (audio, video, graphics, written text, HTML, etc.) to enact their arguments. I describe how students transfer their alphabetic writing processes to multimedia, using example projects and reflections to show their learning.
