CALL FOR WEBTEXTS
Kairos: A Journal For Teachers of Writing in Webbed Environments
Kairos is a webbed journal exploring all aspects of the
pedagogical and scholarly uses of hypertext and other web technologies.
It is designed to serve as a resource for teachers, researchers,
and tutors of writing, including: Technical Writing, Business Writing,
Professional Communication, Creative Writing, Composition, Literature
and a wide variety of humanities-based scholarship.
We are interested in receiving submissions addressing (but not limited to) the following:
- hypertexts designed to help ground pedagogical theory in classroom praxis;
- reports on empirical research conducted in and related to networked
writing environments;
- editorials from teachers regarding classroom experiences;
- sample syllabi, with notes and commentary from teachers and
students;
- additional material in categories listed below.
