Ball, Cheryl E. (2008, October 17). Designing digital scholarship (and having it count): A case built on three perspectives. Thomas R. Watson Conference on Rhetoric and Composition, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY.

abstract
In this panel session, three presenters spoke to digital projects they had undertaken (a digital archive, a wiktionary, and a scholarly webtext published in Kairos), discussing compositional, revision, and “counting” issues relating to tenure and promotion. I responded to the panelists based on my experience as editor of Kairos, as a junior faculty member using a lot of digital scholarship in my tenure case, and as a promoter/user of digital portfolios to make tenure arguments.

abstract
This roundtable/mentoring session offered audience members a chance to hear from online journal editors what distinguishes each of their publications from the other as well as basic principles for querying and submitting to online journals in rhetoric and composition. Time was left for each journal editor to meet in small groups with interested authors for a Q&A.

abstract
In this panel presentation, four presenters (editors of Kairos or authors for Kairos’s 10th anniversary issue) discuss the history and trajectory of digital writing studies’ longest-running online journal. I focused on the transitions the journal underwent as it progressed into its 11th year of publication.

abstract
In this session, several newly hired tenure-track faculty members present advice, suggestions, and tips for managing the transition to their schools. I focused on how to balance professional and personal roles through time-management practices and on how to make sure your new colleagues get to know you, through what I called “face-management” practices.

Ball, Cheryl E. (2006, March 23). Revisiting the usefulness of current multimodal and new media theories. Conference on College Composition & Communication, Chicago, IL.

abstract
In this presentation, I discussed two sets of rubrics posited by new media scholars, Gunther Kress and Theo van Leeuwen in their book Multimodal Discourse and Lev Manovich in his book A Language of New Media. I argue that these rubrics are only so useful for rhetoric and composition scholars because they don’t focus on rhetorical ways of understanding digital media texts.
