TWC301: Multimedia Writing

I decided to comment on this definition out of the three I bookmarked. I felt that it gave me a greater insight on the meaning of rhetoric, but I'd also have to say our "Technical Communication in the 21st Century" book provided the most information on the topic

I thought this was an interesting article on the problems and benefits of Transnational Communication historically and present day.

It looks like you used the Purdue site also. I agree with you that it does a great job of explaining rhetoric in the apa format.

This website is a good tool for writing. It is actually an educational online writing lab. It is available to anyone who needs assistance in the writing process. There are writing resources for various topics (i.e. professional, literature, medical, journalism).This website also includes job search and resume writing tools. As well as, MLA and APA guides.

Great Article that look at the different types of Workplace writing compared to the traditional Academic writings,how the two are different and where does Ethics become involved.

Traditional textbook rationales for the technical writing course locate the essence of technical writing in objectivity, clarity, and neutrality, and the need for teaching it in its usefulness to employers. Such rationales, however, are unable to accommodate a notion of ethics and responsibility: if the writer merely serves the interests that employ her by reporting facts in an objective way, how can she exercise choice when ethical problems arise? An alternative view is to see technical writing as always rhetorical and involved with potentially conflicting agendas and interests, with objectivity, clarity, and neutrality serving merely as stylistic devices in the writer's rhetorical toolbox. Technical writers are rhetoricians who continually make ethical choices in serving diverse interests and negotiating between conflicting demands. The recognition of the fundamental rhetoricity of technical writing is the first step towards accommodating a meaningful notion of ethics into the technical writing curriculum.
