=New Media Research=

Welcome to the homepage of our New Media Research site, a collaborative research space for members of Marc C. Santos' New Media class at the University of South Florida. This space will become a collection of links and annotations on New Media (with an emphasis on Professional and Technical Writing and Rhetoric and Composition).

During the Spring of 2011, a class of 25 students began collecting information for this wiki. Using the [|CompPile database]CompPile database, they identified articles related to new media published in Rhetoric and Composition journals. They were asked to write annotations of articles, aiming at brevity and usability. This semester, it will be your job to try and make sense of what they found--to increase its usability, add new content, and participate in an overhaul of the site's architecture and navigation. The benefits of this are hopefully clear; but, in case they are not, I will tell you that just about any job you take in the field of professional/technical writing will require you to engage in group-authored projects. This is a sandbox for such preparation.
