However, the paperless revolution never happened. We now live in an amalgam of old and new expectations and situations. This class thus aims to investigate new and old technologies, relationships, and documents relevant to workplace writing in the 21st century. We will examine traditional workplace documents and evaluate their new electronic counterparts. Furthermore, we will examine emerging hiring practices and collaborative writing practices of the 21st century workplace. Students will emerge from this class with the following skills: the ability to produce a video resume, storyboarding and planning skills, interviewing skills for face-to-face and electronic situations including interviews, screen-casting skills, data refinement methods (using Google analytics and refine). The semester will culminate in an electronic project that meshes written, audio, and visual text. Required text: All Edge: Inside the New Workplace Networks, Clay Spinuzzi. 2015. Students will also be required to use Google Docs. Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Junior or Senior class standing.
