What roles do technical communicators play in remote work environments? What strategies are most effective for working collaboratively on a remote team? How will remote work change in the coming years? These are just a few of the questions that we will investigate in ENC 4298. Major assignments may include a scholarly book review, discussion posts, interview with a remote employee, video presentation, research report, and virtual team project, which will require *synchronous* online meetings. To succeed in this course, you need access to the Microsoft Office Suite and Zoom (available for free to UCF students - https://it.ucf.edu/ucf-apps/), as well as a device that allows you to run Zoom audio and video. Please check UCF Libraries and your local library for copies of the assigned texts before purchasing them. |

Online, WWW In this course, we will focus on how rhetoric shapes public debates about health, politics, and technology. After developing a foundational skillset in rhetorical analysis, we will spend the remainder of the term studying debates about a variety of topics, which may include vaccine hesitancy, artificial intelligence, digital ethics, demagoguery, and other timely concerns. Since these topics are contentious, we will learn how to engage with them in productively in asynchronous conversations. Core assignments will include discussion posts, several short rhetorical analyses, and a 20-page “case study” about the rhetoric of a public debate that interests you. All students will be asked to schedule a synchronous Zoom meeting or phone call with the professor to discuss your case study. |
