Section Description

This course explores the rhetorical and cultural significance of new writing forms in this, our digital age. The written word still matters, but writing online is increasingly visual and enmeshed in a range of media forms. Learning to create interesting content for the web allows one to contact a global audience. Students in this course will study what it means to write in this digital world. Students will create eight digital online projects, all coded in simple html, css, and javascript. No previous coding experience or practice creating web sites is needed. Experienced coders and web writers will be able to work at an accelerated pace.
