Expansion[edit]

Seems like there have been quite a few conferences on this so it should be a major topic. Someone who is involved should be able to add a lot more here. Vegaswikian 22:49, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

New to wiki but I would like to see this page expanded. I will leave some resources, and may look into expanding it myself--but I am just a grad student with a sudden interest in the topic. I also believe that a proper title for this page would be "literary computing" though I may be a spot off on that one.

While the folks that do literary computing are certainly part of the computers and writing field, they tend to have their own venues and conferences...and their work is now generally considered as "digital humanities." The kinds of centers and organizations that are more closely tied to the field of computers and writing include the Writing in Digital Environments research center at Michigan State University (http://wide.msu.edu) and the Digital Writing and Research Lab (formerly Computer Writing Research Lab) at the University of Texas (http://cwrl.utexas.edu). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.241.149.201 (talk) 20:32, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The pedagogy section of the article seems to be written more like an opinion essay and may contain original research such as: "Computers and writing pedagogies encourage students to think critically about the connections among composition, technology, and media. By exploring complex concepts such as visual rhetoric, issues of access, and the social implications of online writing, students learn practical applications and implications of writing using technology."

The pedagogy section has no citations which is less than Wikipedia's recommended amount of one source per sentence. Can anyone provide sources? Rknottnerus (talk) 22:50, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]


In the lead, I deleted the term "eRhetoric" and changed it to "digital rhetoric", along with a link to the digital rhetoric page. In the digital rhetoric talkpage, editors have come to a consensus on this term over eRhetoric. Lucymobe (talk) 16:58, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
