“Composing Digital Scholarship: A Workshop for Authors”
citation
Ball, Cheryl E.; Eyman, Douglas; Sorapure, Madeleine; & Gossett, Katherine. (2009, June 18). Composing Digital Scholarship: A Workshop for Authors. Computers & Writing Conference, Davis, CA.
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.

I have been moderator of these half-day, pre-conference workshops at the annual Computers and Writing conferences since 2005. Careers in Computers & Writing started as a job-market advice workshop for graduate students and morphed over the years (by request) into a professionalization workshop across academic ranks that now includes advice and suggestions about choosing grad schools and dissertation committees, navigating the job market (at all ranks), and planning for continued professional development after one gets a job through tenure and promotion processes.

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.
