Teaching writing with technology: An overview of the current landscape in composition studies
Dr. Darin Payne, UH Mānoa Department of English
March 30, Wednesday
9:30am - 11am
Kuykendall 415

This presentation grows out of a research project that attempts to describe, analyze, and illustrate the discipline of Rhetoric and Composition as it is evolving amidst the steady integration of digital tools for both communicating and teaching. The primary sources of research are syllabi, assignments, and curricular programs from around the country, all of which were collected in 2015 and demonstrate a range of technology-enhanced or technology- immersed writing instruction in the U.S. The project is designed to give mainstream scholars and teachers a broad overview of how our work has gone, and continues to go, digital.

Dr. Darin Payne is a rhetoric and composition specialist in UH-Mānoa’s Department of English. He teaches graduate courses in new media and digital pedagogies, theories and practices of composition studies, rhetorics of popular culture, and contemporary rhetorical theory; and undergraduate courses in writing for electronic media, teaching composition, and new media rhetoric and popular culture, among others. Darin has presented research regularly at the Conference on College Composition and Communication and also presented internationally, most recently in 2015 at the International Conference on New Directions in the Humanities in Vancouver, Canada. In 2004 Darin served as co-chair for the 20th annual Computers and Writing Conference here in Hawaiʻi. He has published on rhetorics of technology, spatial power, writing pedagogy, popular culture, and new media in journals including College English; JAC: A Journal of Composition Theory, Rhetoric Review; and Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy.
