It’s so encouraging to see rhetoric/writing classes like Barbara’s. I’m certainly in favor of what you refer to in the introduction as the risks she takes … especially given her status, etc .. and I couldn’t agree more with your statement, “… I think that if college rhetoric and indeed college education is to remain relevant over the coming years this is the type of experimentation and adaptation that will be necessary”
I want to share info from my site about new media writing: http://writingcommons.com/genres/new-media-writing
Enjoy!
