Readers may view the web edition online, or freely download the PDF, ePUB, and Kindle (Mobi) edi- tions. The Trinity College ePress platform also offers an extra Tutorials sec- tion with how-to guides for several digital writing tools mentioned in the text. This platform relies on two open-source WordPress plugins—Press- Books (by Hugh McGuire at Book Oven, Inc.) and PressBooks Textbook (by Brad Payne at BCCampus)—on a web server at TrinfoCafe.org (main- tained by Carlos Espinosa). In addition, the 2013 open peer review edition of the book manuscript is freely available from Trinity College at http://webwriting2013.trincoll.edu. This edition includes the open call for essay ideas, preliminary drafts, and over one thousand comments by readers of the manuscript. It relies on another open-source WordPress plugin, CommentPress Core (by Christian Wach at the Institute for the Future of the Book). All web links to the final edition of this book were functional as of August 2014. Due to the changing nature of the Internet, all external links have been fully cited in the notes to assist readers of the print and digital edi- tions.

Downloaded on behalf of Unknown Institution Acknowledgements Special thanks go to several people who nourished Web Writing in its early stages: The inaugural group of Center for Teaching and Learning Fel- lows who kindly provided feedback on the first draft (Kath Archer, Brett Barwick, Carol Clark, Luis Figueroa, Irene Papoulis, Joe Palladino), and several colleagues who offered early advice and encouragement, specif- ically Korey Jackson, Kristen Nawrotzki, colleagues at MediaCommons, and many THATCamp workshop participants. Carlos Espinosa at Trin- foCafe.org capably manages the server that hosts the CommentPress and PressBooks editions of this volume. Christian Wach developed the open- source CommentPress Core plugin (based on a previous version by Eddie Tejeda) and patiently answered several questions about customizing our child theme. Hugh McGuire and colleagues created the open-source Press- Books plugin, and Brad Payne coded the open-source PressBooks Textbook plugin and theme. Our logo was designed by Rita Law, manager of creative services at Trinity College. At Michigan Publishing, we thank editorial director Aaron McCullough and his colleagues Meredith Kahn, Christo- pher Dreyer, Kevin Hawkins, Jason Colman, Jillian Downey, and Tom Dwyer. We also appreciate the thoughtful commentary of the expert reviewers commissioned by the publisher—Barbara Fister, Jason Mittell, Amanda Seligman, and Kate Singer—as well as nearly seventy other readers who participated in the open peer review. xv Dougherty, Jack.

Sexual violence thrives on secrecy. – Jennifer Freyd, ’Official Campus Statistics for Sexual Violence Mislead’ (http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2014/7/college-campus- sexualassaultsafetydatawhitehousegender.html) Spring 2014 was a long season, marked by a campus-wide anti-rape movement that took off at the University of Oregon (UO). In the wake of a high profile case, administrators callously and robotically rehearsed the “one time is too many” catch phrase that, through its rhetorical singularity, renders campus sexual violence an “isolated issue.” Arguments that UO was somehow unique or unusual in its unsafe environment and unethical public relations approach to public safety became rampant in public forums and the comment sections of online articles. The idea of writing campus sexual violence into Wikipedia was born of these circumstances, growing out of a conversation with campus activists about universities’ efforts to keep campus sexual violence invisible. By increasing the amount of freely available information on the long history of campus sexual violence across the United States, we could provide information for people looking to learn about the ways Oregon was

  • Past, Present and Future
    Life-stowing from a Digital Media Perspective: Past, Present and Future Alberto Frigo SÖDERTÖRN DOCTORAL DISSERTATIONS Life-stowing from a Digital Media Perspective: Past, Present and Future Alberto Frigo Subject: Media and Communication Studies Research Area: Critical and Cultural Theory School: Culture and Education Södertörn University Södertörns högskola (Södertörn University) The Library SE-141 89 Huddinge www.sh.se/publications © Alberto Frigo Cover image: Alberto Frigo Cover layout: Jonathan Robson Graphic form: Per Lindblom & Jonathan Robson Printed by Elanders, Stockholm 2017 Södertörn Doctoral Dissertations 139 ISSN 1652–7399 ISBN 978-91-88663-00-9 (print) ISBN 978-91-88663-01-6 (digital) Abstract While both public opinion and scholars around the world are currently pointing out the danger of increasingly popular life-logging devices, this book articulates this debate by distinguishing between automatic and manual life-logging approaches. Since new definitions of life-logging have excluded the latter approach and have been mainly focused on effortless life-logging technologies such as Google Glass and Quantified Self applications in general, the second part of this thesis theoretically frames life-stowing. Through extensive etymological research, I have defined life-stowing as a manual and effortful practice conducted by life-stowers, individuals who devote their life to sampling reality in predefined frameworks. As part of this book, an historical over- view introduces life-stowers and distinguishes between Apollonian and Dionysian varieties of these practitioners. Lastly, in order to understand the future reception of life-stowing, particularly in relation to digital media, I have disclosed my ongoing life- stowing project to a small audience.

  • Podcasts: Who Needs TV? November 19, 2019
    Tuesday Tech Talk - Podcasts: Who Needs TV? November 19, 2019 Why Podcasts? Podcasts are commonly described as on-demand internet radio talks. These tracks are typically audio recordings of a conversation between a host and a guest speaker, just like the ones you can listen to on the radio, or a single monologue of a person sharing his or her thoughts. Besides your desktop computer, you can listen to these audios from your iPhone or Android device, mp3 player, iPod, tablet, or any portable digital device. Podcasts are on-demand listening which is the opposite of streaming real time. Podcasts were designed to fit into an active, always-on-the-go lifestyle. The episodes can be downloaded one by one and you can play them later offline. You can download the tracks on your computer in mp3 format or make the best out of the offline listening feature of popular podcast apps like iTunes or Stitcher. For example, you can play the latest episode while driving, doing household chores, or going for a walk. Listening to podcasts can significantly increase your time spent on learning, even if it is only for a few minutes per day. You never know when those insights and creative ideas come handy in your life. Podcasts can shower you with inspiration!
