Synopsis
A MANUAL FOR THE DIGITAL AGE WITH EXERCISES, BRIEF Second Edition, is the rhetorical handbook for composing in the 21st century. Blakesley and Hoogeveen place students' writing front and center with an innovative page format that keeps students' attention focused on their own writing and on activities, checklists, projects, and visual aids that help them write. The page design and innovative visuals make information about writing, reading, research, documentation, technology, and grammar easy for students to access and understand. To accomplish their writing tasks, students are taught to ground their rhetorical decisions in the specific context in which they are writing. Because writing and reading occur both in print and online, A MANUAL FOR THE DIGITAL AGE WITH EXERCISES, BRIEF Second Edition, prepares students to work with images, audio, video, and print. "Technology Toolbox" features throughout, as well as two dedicated parts of the book (Parts 6 and 7), teach students how to compose with technology intelligently. A new chapter on Writing for Online Courses, the first of its kind in a handbook, guides students in addressing this new but increasingly common context for writing.Important Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
