A partial screenshot of my tweet-based editorial column
This editorial column, written as a series of tweets (i.e., 140-character Twitter updates), describes the major discussion threads from the 2009 Computers & Writing conference at UC-Davis. One of the keynote speakers at C&W asked audience members to tweet her presentation, which started a large backchannel discussion, so the form of this column is in honor of that session. This column also lists the Kairos award winners presented at C&W (as well as that Kairos design staffers won another award for their redesign efforts), and introduces the webtexts in this issue.

This editorial column announces the journal’s win of the Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ) Design Award, as well as discusses the current state of acceptance of digital (media) scholarship in the humanities, as evidenced by its (lack of) inclusion/understanding in organizations such as the Modern Language Association.

Screenshot from new design issue
Readers will already have noticed our biggest announcement for this issue: the redesign! Years in the brainstorming phase, the redesign team of three staffers—Kathie Gossett, Karl Stolley, and Doug Eyman—made it all happen over the last year. They report on design features, including value-added components that have readers in mind, in a separate note in this issue. We thank and congratulate them for a difficult undertaking that was accomplished with little resources and next-to-no time. Wonderful job, folks!

Screenshot from Braun & Gilbert's (2008) manifesto, "This is Scholarship"
This editorial column (written for the special issue, co-guested-edited with Scott Lloyd DeWitt) introduces the reasons why we wanted to have an issue dedicated to manifestos, as cutting-edge ideas often not published in “scholarly” venues. It also introduces the 8 manifestos (including one collection that includes 9 individual manifestos) we accepted and details the peer-review criteria we used for the submissions.

In this issue, the Topoi section of Kairos is pleased to showcase three webtexts originating from the 2007 Computers and Writing Conference (C&W) in Detroit: one focused on virtual case environments developed for CMS, the second focused on geoblogging as a way to present students with complex, place-contextualized writing scenarios, and the third focused on the consolations and constraints of words as writing, as speech, and as art.

In this issue, the Topoi section of Kairos is pleased to showcase two webtexts about digital scholarship, which connect to the Praxis section’s theme on tools for composing digital scholarship and the inaugural publication of the Inventio section, the aim of which is to highlight the intellectual labor of composing and reading scholarly webtexts. It’s a meta-theme on digital scholarship IN digital scholarship for this issue!

This editorial column introduces four webtexts published as part of the proceedings for the 2006 Computers & Writing conference in Lubbock, TX. Conference Chair Rich Rice overviews the conference, and the next two texts discuss issues of using content-management systems such as WebCT. The fourth text offers case studies of online research practices.

This editorial column introduces five webtexts that discuss issues of disabilities and technologies in writing classrooms, as well as two “conversations” about disability, technology, and webtext authoring captured between several sets of authors in the CoverWeb (themed) section.

This editorial column introduces five cutting-edge (in 2003, and some still) webtexts for the new media issue of Kairos. The column also discusses the history and reasons for choosing new media for this issue, definitions of new media that focus on how we distinguished it from other genres of online scholarship, why new media is necessary to explore in scholarship, and the changes in editorial processes we struggled with because of the new media texts that were submitted. (Historical note: This issue of Kairos launched my research agenda into new media scholarship.)

abstract
I was the newsletter designer for this print publication. The newsletter was an on-campus and community feminist publication for women and men who worked with technology, distributing local and national news and local opinions and information about women’s causes such as health care and equality. (On a campus with an 5:1 male to female student ratio, a feminist newsletter was an important campus outreach activity.)

Production Manager. (2003–04). C Literary Magazine. Michigan Technological University.
abstract
I started this 64-page, perfect-bound undergraduate literary magazine to publish winners from the campus’s annual undergraduate literary contest. Students in my Publications and Information Management (HU 3630) class created the magazine’s title and design and performed basic editing on the collection. I supervised their work and performed final design revisions and editing for the press publication.
[Note: C Literary Magazine was published from 2003 until 2006, when a faculty member transitioned it into a national journal, PANK Magazine (personal correspondence, M. Bartely Seigel, 2007).]

The video is a 2-minute mash-up/remix of the webtexts contained in the special issue and serves as our “letter from the guest editors” in a multimedia format. (Note: The video is hosted on my server because of space issues on the C&C Online server.)

http://kairos.technorhetoric.net/12.1/binder.html?topoi/warner/index.html
abstract
This webtext presents a tool for assessing the scholarly value of online journal publications. It is part of a larger study that uses Kairos webtexts to investigate the scholarly nature of online texts. The goal of this larger study is to deliver a rubric as an instrument to facilitate the acceptance of online texts within English Studies as evidence of scholarship for professional advancement. In order to understand more fully how an online text can be recognized and valued for its scholarly legitimacy, it is crucial to explore the nature of successful (published) online scholarship. The assessment tool presented in this webtext is comprised of questions that help to reveal commonalities and deviations in the function and value of traditional (print) scholarly conventions toward defining an emerging genre of online scholarship. This webtext is designed using a web browser interface that should be familiar to many web readers. Web browsers enable readers to view web pages and provide a gateway to finding information online. This webtext was intentionally designed to draw attention to the interactive ways in which readers can approach texts that are created in or remediated for the Web. This design is mimetic to my thesis, that scholarly webtexts need both familiar and new assessment tools in order to be valued by academic stakeholders.
