I am Dan: "A major focus of the conference for me and my colleagues from UNC, Erin Branch and Stephanie Morgan, was the podcast workshop we ran on Thursday. We got lots of positive feedback from participants and will likely try to develop the Web site for the workshop into something more substantial. I think it is fair to say that parts of the computers and writing community are beginning to emphasize and study the uses of sound in composition. I wouldn’t say this was the buzz theme of the conference, but I did get a sense that the recent heavy focus on visual rhetoric was now being supplemented by aural concerns as well. I have to wonder about the perennial question about the purview of writing—what gets (de)emphasized when we move into writing programs film, images, sounds, etc?"
