Writing with Digital Media

Catalog description

This project-based course introduces English majors and students interested in professional writing to foundational practices of writing for, composing with, and publishing across various digital media. Students will study how users interact with online and multimodal texts, and consider how various digital genres shape the rhetorical choices available to writers. They will work independently and in teams to create multimodal writing projects with special attention given to how audience, context, and purpose are impacted by their choice of media. The course exposes students to skills applicable to a range of careers and creative activities, and each student will finish the course with a small portfolio of work in digital media.
