Hello, My name is Adam Strantz and I am currently one of the two writers in residence at RHEA for FALL 2011. My major areas of interest are digital rhetoric and professional writing, stemming from my work as both an undergraduate and Master student at Purdue. I am particularly interested in the way writers can utilize technology, new media such as augmented reality and smartphones, and distance/cloud-learning applications for both learning and professional applications.
