CO302 Writing Online

Prerequisite: CO150 College Composition

COCC 302 focuses on the analysis and production of texts that are written and read only in electronic formats, preparing you to write as a member of a society in which increasing amounts of public and social discourse take place online. In this course, students explore the rhetorical and cultural contexts in which electronic texts occur, and practice strategies for producing and interpreting these texts. To study online writing, students will read online texts including hypertexts, Internet discussion forums, and World Wide Web pages; read work that provides a critical and/or historical perspective on the technological, cultural and rhetorical nature of online texts; and write in and with these technologies (e.g., code and publish Web pages) to learn first hand how online writing uniquely calls attention to the rhetorical, technological, and cultural issues that shape its existence.
