“Writing into Digication: First Year Writing Students Experiment
with ePortfolios”
Moderated by Bill Torgerson
Come to this panel if you're interested in what might be done
with a Digication ePortfolio. Students have uploaded texts and
embedded images, sound, and video. One of the primary projects in
this class was to craft a hybrid research paper called the
Scholarly Personal Narrative in which students tell a personal
story and weave in research from scholarly journals. Students also
created short documentary films.

"Being Critical; Being Creative: Crafting Innovative Work in
Multiple Genres"
Moderated by Tara Roeder
Our panel seeks to challenge the antiquated divide between the
"academic" and the "creative", exploring complex work that
transcends this limited binary.
