Daymon Kiliman authors chapter in newly published book
Daymon Kiliman, academic support specialist for TRIO, has written Chapter 10, “Space and Place,” and the instructors guide in the newly published Kendall Hunt textbook, “Digitally Mediated Composing and You: A Beginner’s Guide to Understanding Rhetoric and Writing in an Interconnected World.” The chapter focuses on writing skills development through encouraging critical reflection on the spaces and places we move from, through and within (physically, virtually and socially) and how those spaces impact our goals and strategies for written and multimodal communication.
The textbook’s approach is summarized in the introduction: “[W]riting digitally is not something special, or something that only happens sometimes, but rather is the main way that we write and communicate with the world, and … even academic writing should be centered in digital tech.” UIS has adopted this publication as the primary textbook for its first-year composition sequence.
