Building upon the theoretical framework of Tony Scott's (2018) “curriculascapes,” this webtext dramatizes the multivocality and rhetorical attunement that is required of those who do most composition teaching while also accenting how performances can breach and transform institutional, political, and economic imperatives.

In a UI-driven design world, we cannot overstate the anxiety many individuals experience when encountering code. If we wish to promote any form of coding literacy at scale, our earliest attempts will need to address these fears. This webtext introduces the pedagogy of basic coding and Open Fuego, a tool designed to help educators easily integrate aspects of coding literacy, computational thinking, and computer science knowledge into the rhetoric and composition classroom.

In this webtext, I approach the composition course as an assemblage of technologies that inhibits moving beyond White Mainstream English (WME). The assemblage of state-assigned learning outcomes, the American Community Survey (ACS) data on language, and the composition course reinscribe WME. However, this assemblage of technologies works against itself when reassembled appropriately. Through mapping technologies, I reassemble these technologies to 'break' learning outcomes...

This project explores audio description (AD) as a rich digital-composing practice. It offers a framework for understanding AD rhetorically, which is elaborated through an illustrated retelling of the fairy tale "The Bremen Town Musicians." Through discussion of the framework and the fairy tale, this webtext highlights the complex technical and ethical questions that arise with applications of AD.

Attention to visual literacy and graphic literature has greatly increased in the field of rhetoric and composition. However, the comics industry has fallen behind in terms of attention to access for readers. This webtext discusses how writing faculty can make their visual course content—comics, in particular—more inclusive while fostering discussion of disability studies and access in the classroom.

Designing an online course that focuses on multimodality and community building—where community encompasses the online space and the larger society and can be uniquely fostered by metacognitive engagements—can promote student success as literate citizens within and beyond academia. Metacognitive reflection, in our case linked to the canon of Memory, can guide students to reconsider how elements of the course can affect their learning and their work in their future careers.

My argument in this sonic disputatio is that activism within conservative religious traditions is a crucial, if often overlooked, form of social change. In recent years, conservative Christianity has become subject to increased scrutiny due to what many see as antiquated and even discriminatory beliefs and practices; because questioning religious dogma in a church setting can be treacherous, emerging online platforms have become a safe place to discuss faith, doubt, and religious dissolution.

This webtext identifies how vocal rhetoric can contribute to the emotional attachment of public memory and argues for the importance of voices to the history of Japanese American incarceration, focusing on two instances of vocal rhetoric: an open-access database on Densho.org that houses oral histories of World War II-era incarceration of Japanese Americans, and an audio kiosk at The Rohwer Memorial Cemetery located on the former Rohwer concentration camp site.

We write as musicians and fans who are also writing teachers; we feel we have contributions to make in the form of "sympathetic resonances" we have observed between music and writing, most especially as we consider ways both music and writing can be harnessed to question and subvert power, to understand and complicate genres and expectations, to foster community, and to project and shape identity.

On February 21, 2019 The Carter G. Woodson Institute for African-American and African Studies at the University of Virginia hosted a listening roundtable for A.D. Carson's Sleepwalking 2 [a mixtap/e/ssay | OTR]. In the roundtable, Carson and five colleagues in music and/or rhetoric, discuss the process of the album, hip hop as resistance, and the academic legibility of Carson's musical work.

The Border Soundscapes Project is based on Schafer's (1977) “World Soundscapes Project,” which made sound a formal subject of research and a fundamental dimension of what it means to “inhabit” the world in a “universal” composition in which we all participate. Through this study, we embark on a search for a border sound identity—a polyphonous representation of who border residents are, how we coexist, and how we clash in spite and because of being a border community.

This video project considers participatory composition and media platforms like YouTube and Twitch, primarily focusing on how the latter’s infrastructure promotes online community participation and collaborative narratives. Viewers develop an understanding of the technology and together expand upon their media literacies engagements through textual, verbal, aural, and multimodal communication.

Close and distant readings are used as an analytical framework to better understand visual and linguistic representations of disability that appeared in the 2017 Disability March, presented through a webtext that isn’t perfectly accessible. The juxtaposition between inclusive narratives and inaccessible structures is explored via videos about the design choices made by the author that can serve to welcome or distance readers with diverse abilities.

Although reddit is a male-dominated space and is often considered problematically gendered, women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndome have created a subreddit for supportive discussion of living with their illness. This webtext investigates this contradiction of users on reddit and contends that women have embraced reddit as a space for cyberfeminist activity through their PCOS subreddit.

This webtext reports on research conducted at Brigham Young University in the summer of 2017 about source evaluation methods used by first-year writing students. Librarians used several methods to study how students rate online source reliability including voice recordings, screen recordings, and open response tests. This webtext provides a visual landscape of how students interacted with the articles we asked them to evaluate.

This webtext curates three artistic transpositions of Odissi, an eastern Indian classical dance form, from live movement to digital embodiment. The authors investigate three representations of recorded movement data and explore these variations' affordances and constraints as online avatars for the embodied Odissi dancer, framed by the dancer's reflections on her experience as both dancer and digital composer.

Through an analysis of over 40 writing center blogs, this webtext offers an overview of the current status of blog use in writing centers, and a guide to best practices that incorporates survey responses from the writing center professionals who maintain exemplary blogs.

This webtext presents video recordings of writing conferences with two students in a lower-division online research writing course, analyzed in light of online writing instruction and writing center scholarship on synchronous conferencing—specifically considering the extent to which students in the conference practice or acquire digital literacy skills, benefit from the immediacy of the interaction, and experience an asymmetrical power dynamic.
