Kairos PraxisWiki

PraxisWiki is a section of Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy that publishes webtexts exploring the intersections and tangents of digital writing and pedagogy. We invite pieces demonstrating pedagogy in action, research methods in practice, scholarly concepts in development, and more. Have an idea for a PraxisWiki webtext? Submission guidelines are included at the bottom of this page!

PraxisWiki is peer reviewed in the same manner as webtexts in our other peer-reviewed journal sections. Editorial board members are listed on the journal's website.

Here is a link to Kairos's ScholarNames project.
