Given my interest in new media composition, I have attempted to create non-traditional, non-print scholarship often during my journey as doctoral student. I have included several examples here. They are not perfect. Some are quite simplistic. Often, course-imposed time constraints meant I had less time than I would have hoped to polish or more fully develop this work. I plan to return to some of these projects and get them ready for submission to peer-reviewed online journals (You know, in all my spare time). But enough with the disclaimers…
