Wendling and Myers worked under my guidance to revise the digital media chapter that undergraduates in my Fall 2008 Multimodal Composition class authored for inclusion in the digital book I am co-editing, The New Work of Composing. Wendling’s work was supported through a Research and Sponsored Programs fellowship for undergraduate research.

Advisor. Kairos editing internship, Illinois State University.

description
PhD students at Illinois State (and a Masters student at Utah State) have the occasional opportunity to be a research assistant for the journal I edit, Kairos: Rhetoric, Technology, Pedagogy. Depending on the journal’s needs at the time, students’ technical and theoretical skills, as well as how long they will be assigned to the journal based on departmental teaching needs, students are guided to perform different projects from copy- and design-editing to non-production projects such as designing promotional materials. Depending on the project, I create training documents or verbally guide students through the process.

students/projects

  • Kyle Jensen (Spring 2009), created promotional website for editorial projects, including Kairos, in department
  • Devon Fitzgerald (Spring 2008), worked on copy- and design-editing in production cycle
  • Susan Baxter (2004-06: volunteer), compiled a database-ready bibliography of citation contents for Kairos‘s first ten years of publication

Dimitroff completed his masters portfolio, an option in the MA in Professional Writing and Rhetorics program in the English Department, by successfully defending his portfolio on December 2, 2010. His online portfolio (created as a Prezi) reflected on the visual and technical communication practices of stormchasers by analyzing stormchasing artifacts he created for school and for his hobby. Dimitroff is also a full-time technical writer.

Chair, Masters thesis committee. Susan Baxter. (2007, July). “Online Citation and New Media Scholarship: Kairos and the Case for Online Publication.” Utah State University.

description
As chair of Baxter’s Masters thesis committee, I guided her through writing an article-length thesis with an accompanying 72-page appendix that included her data. She spent a semester archiving all citations within Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy and then coding them according to genre type so that she could compare the ways Kairos webtexts cited particular genres with other studies on the ways print articles cited those same (or different) genres. As of 2009, Baxter currently works full-time as a technical writer.
