3080j: Writing in Wikipedia Course Site
A Wikipedia Course page created for a course that participated in Wikipedia’s Education Program. Students in this class examined the encyclopedia’s representation of Appalachia and edited articles to improve that representation, a goal that was supported by outcomes related to acquisition of rhetorical and writing knowledge related to process, genre, and discourse community theories.
Wikipedia Initiative for Rhetoric & Composition (WIRCS)
A website initiative to encourage and support development of Wikipedia articles that deal with articles related to Rhetoric and Writing Studies topics, WIRCS came about through the support of a 2013 Pearson Emerging Pedagogies Research and Travel Grant.
English 3080j Course Site
A Course Website I developed for English 3080j: Digital Rhetorics and Literacies during my time at Ohio University. Students in this course examined rhetoric and writing through/in various new media technologies. The course site fosters digital writing and provides students access to schedules, assignments, and announcements.
English 3840j Course Site
A Course Website I developed for English 3840j: Writing, Reading, & Rhetoric in the Professions during my time at Ohio University. Students in this course developed digital portfolios to create a professional online presence which were linked to the main course site. The course site fosters digital writing and provides students access to schedules, assignments, and announcements.
