| Description |
The following Masters of Art in English thesis outlines and analyzes a study on online writing pedagogy with freshman students. |
| Abstract |
Composition instructors are often eager to embrace new communication methods and platforms without fully understanding the frequency or purposes students are using such platforms for. This paper outlines and analyzes the results of a study (conducted at an open-enrollment university) into the online spaces freshman students enrolled in introductory composition courses frequent, how they occupy such spaces, and the rhetorical challenges that affect their online writing habits. Data from this study is then used to propose a pedagogical approach to teaching online writing within traditional freshman composition courses. This proposal includes frameworks for identifying rhetorical skills and strategies and easy to-implement activities to model, analyze, and practice rhetorical strategies. |
