Digital Writing and Publication／Digital Writing and Publication

【授業の概要と目的（何を学ぶか） / Outline and objectives】
Technological advances have pushed society toward an ever-more participatory global culture; we both consume and create vast quantities of the written word on our phones, laptops and tablets. These digital texts have expanded the definition of what we call writing and what we can do with it. This course will look more closely at how this kind of digital copy is produced and the way it impacts our daily life. Together, we will examine the planning, writing and publication stages of digital content creation, as well as the practical and ethical issues that are involved.

【到達目標 / Goal】
Frederich Nietzsche once said, “it is my ambition to say in 10 sentences what others say in a whole book,” and that is what we will aim to do: produce clear and concise written communication. As part of this process, we will:
•Examine how technology has profoundly altered traditional writing practices
•Learn how to deliver content to a brief, within set style guidelines
•Be engaged in the analysis and production of digital writing, both individually and as part of a team
•Consider the fundamentally new set of ethical issues the online world has created.

【授業の進め方と方法 / Method(s)】 （学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. ）
Digital Writing and Publication has a focus on quality rather than quantity; in today’s digital world, information must be conveyed quickly and attractively. An assignment may be as short as 50 words, but students will learn how to make those 50 words count. Submission of assignments and feedback will be via the Learning Management System. We will look at practices that promote a collaborative approach toward a common goal via technology. Students will also learn industry-standard practices, such as writing to a specific style guide and for a specific audience.
