abstract

This article provides a preview of Vega, a new scholarly publishing platform in development (set to be released in late 2017). With twenty-plus years of experience publishing scholarly multimedia in the journal Kairos, the author summarizes editorial practices for multimedia content in terms of the scholarly, social, and technical infrastructures required to sustain digital media-rich publishing venues. Vega is an outgrowth of those practices that aims to provide a stable platform for training editors, publishers, and authors in how to create, edit, and maintain the scholarly record.

CIWIC–Computers in Writing-Intensive Classrooms–and its spin-off, DMAC–Digital Media and Composition–celebrated their combined 30th anniversary during the Summer of 2015. These special issues mark that anniversary by exploring how rhetoric and composition scholars who attended CIWIC or DMAC have integrated that technological professional development experience into their academic lives. These special issues are a scholarly tribute and celebration of these internationally known workshops.

Multimodal Revision techniques in webtexts

citation

Ball, Cheryl E. (2013). Multimodal revision techniques in webtexts. Classroom Discourse [special issue: Multimodality].

abstract

This article examines how an online, scholarly journal, Kairos: Rhetoric, Technology, Pedagogy mentors authors to revise their webtexts (interactive, digital media scholarship) for publication. Using an editorial pedagogy, in which multimodal and rhetorical genre theories are merged with revision techniques found in process-based composition studies, the author describes how webtexts are collaboratively peer-reviewed in Kairos and authors are provided macro- and micro-level revision suggestions for their scholarly multimedia.

“Genre and transfer in a multimodal composition class”

March 20, 2013 Book Chapters Comments Off on “Genre and transfer in a multimodal composition class”

abstract
This chapter is about a teacher’s progression through three iterations of a class (at two universities) in multimodal composition, with a focus on how two students brought previous multiliteracy practices into the classroom, how that knowledge shaped instruction, and how the instructor learned to not assign texts by modes in a multimodal class so as to avoid a-generic production of wowless, “five-paragraph” videos.

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.)

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).]
