Under Perpetual Revision!
I am constantly working on improving this site to make it easier to navigate and to include more helpful resources, but as a result things do tend to move around bit. So I apologize for any broken links.
Can't find what you're looking for? Please contact me and I'll either direct you to the right handout or possibly create a new one for you.
I'd love to hear your feedback on the site!

Digital environments have fundamentally changed the way people read and communicate. So why are we teaching students to write to audiences that won’t exist in the future, using mediums that are relics of the pre-digital world?
To communicate successfully in digital environments and with digital media, students need training in the core principles of digital rhetoric. The handouts on site are a step in the direction of offering that training.

Please feel free to share these handouts with anyone who might find them helpful. I recommend that you share the site URL rather than the URL to a specific handout, as those may change.

If you're a faculty member or affiliate of the PWR at CU Boulder, please feel free to send me a request for a specific type of handout or screencast, and I'll see what I can do!
