WRT 320 Digital Writing: Theory and Practice

Fall

This course introduces students to the history of digital culture and examines current scholarship on technology and rhetoric. Students will use a variety of tools and platforms to explore what it means to write “digitally,” including the composition of image, sound, motion, video, as well as text. The application of these tools will require writers to develop a rhetorical awareness to choose those best suited for different projects and audiences. In addition, this course will provide a workshop for practicing strategies for using digital writing tools effectively and persuasively. Prerequisite: FCO 105
