Sequential rhetoric can serve as a framework to instruct UX practice (through user story maps) to new learners because it is both approachable and affordable. Sequential rhetoric consists of five main facets that incorporate planning elements (core visual writing and envisaging) and composing elements (interanimation, juxtaquencing, and gestalt closure), which this essay both defines and relates to convergent scholarship. We argue that sequential rhetoric transfers beyond the technical classroom and into the profession itself.

Following reports spanning from the beginning of the OEF (Operation Enduring Freedom) and OIF (Operation Iraqi Freedom) conflicts to the early 2010s, this rhetorical investigation analyzes the U.S. military's diagnostic practices used to identify mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in blast-affected troops. Considering the notion of "wound/injury" as a possible boundary object, this paper discusses how the conceptual framing of "invisible" injuries may produce interruptions of distrust that inhibit effective diagnosis.

To elaborate on a recent tweet by Dan Cederholm of the development studio, SimpleBits, and author of the standards-focused Bulletproof Web Design , current web development practice, with its many device, format, and user contingencies, is creating an ever-expanding and increasingly complex geography for novice web writers and developers to navigate and learn.
