Michael Day: Selected Webbed Publications
In printI have a chapter A Meshing of Minds: The Future of Online Research for Print and Electronic Publication? in a book called New Worlds, New Words: Exploring Pathways for Writing about and in Electronic Environments (John Barber and Dene Grigar, eds. Hampton Press, 2001).
With Susanmarie Harrington and Rebecca Rickly I edited a specialized volume on Computer Mediated Communication for writing teachers called The Online Writing Classroom. It is available from Hampton Press (201) 894-1686.(2000)
Teachers at the Crossroads: Evaluating Teaching in Electronic Environments appeared in the April 2000 issue of Computers and Composition
Writing in the Matrix: Students Tapping the Living Database on the Computer Network was published by NCTE Press in 1998 The Dialogic Classroom: Teachers Integrating Computer Technology, Pedagogy, and Research, Jeff Galin and Joan Latchaw, eds.
In answer to what I see as a reluctance of humanities scholars to embrace Internet technology in a humanizing manner, I have written a piece called "Humanities and the Internet: Unlikely Bedfellows?". This is published in the Silver Anniversary Anthology: Celebrating 25 Years of the South Dakota Humanities Council (1997) edited by Thomas Gasque.
With Eric Crump and Rebecca Rickly, I have coauthored a chapter on using Internet Relay Chat, MOO, and other synchronous Internet environments for scholarship and collaboration. The chapter is called Creating a Virtual Academic Community: Scholarship and Community in Wide Area Multiple-User Synchronous Discussions and is in Computer Networking and Scholarly Communication in the Twenty-First-Century University, published in 1996 by SUNY Press, a volume in the SUNY series in Computer-Mediated Communication, Teresa M. Harrison and Timothy Stephen, editors
With Trent Batson, I have coauthored a chapter called The Network-based Writing Classroom: The ENFI Idea in a three volume set called Computer Mediated Communication and the Online Classroom, available from Hampton Press (1995)
On the WebMicrosoftening Style and Innovation. Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy 7.3 (Fall 2002)
Evaluating Pop Culture Webbed Resources for Research. Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy 7.2 (Summer 2002)
In Fall 2000, I made a forum contribution to Academic Writing: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Communication Across the Curriculum called The Role of Technology in WAC/CAC Programs. Co-contributors were Tharon Howard, Christine Hult, Charles Moran, and Donna Reiss. Mike Palmquist moderated the forum.
I was coverweb coordinator of Kairos: A Journal for Teachers of Writing in Webbed Environments Issue 1.2 (Summer 1996). In this early webbed publication, I worked with a group of authors and editors to present a web of essays and resources called Pedagogies in Virtual Spaces: Writing Classes in the MOO.
As a sidebar to the Kairos coverweb, I have included "Fear and Loathing in Paradise: Making use of Dissensus, Disorientation, and Discouragement on the MOO," an adaptation of a talk I gave at "The Virtual Classroom: Writing Across the Internet" in Berkeley, California, March 16, 1996
Non-refereed webbed publicationsIn 2001, an intriguing discussion on the TechRhet list about community in Internet discussion groups in 2001 led me to put up Community and Internet Discussion Groups: An Informal List of Features
In December 2000 I responded to Kathy Fitch's call on the TechRhet discussion group for a rationale for using chat programs in writing classes, and Eva Bednarowicz persuaded me to put up the Informal Rationale for Using Chats in the Composition Classroom web page.
With Dickie Selfe, in 1996 I put together a glossary of internet terms currently available in the Epiphany Project's Field Guide.
