The Digital Writer

The Digital Writer is a next-generation introduction to writing that posits that most writing students do is already digital. Toward this premise, the Digital Writer builds upon writing that students do in their everyday lives and focuses these skills toward the kinds of texts they will create in their academic and professional careers. Although situated in traditional concepts, elements of argument, and rhetoric, the Digital Writer extends instruction to digital rhetorics and technologies and explains to students how digital writing makes use of classical concepts of writing, yet requires new and emerging practices that will continue to evolve. Appendix A includes MLA and APA resources and Appendix B includes digital composition tools
