For students in English 239: Multimodal Composition at Illinois State University, this video shows you how to login to the WebVPN client from any browser, navigate to the student projects server, zip, and upload your digital media projects. (Dr. Cheryl E. Ball, Fall 2009)

This is a DRAFT of the movie I created (and presented at CCCC 2009) to help tenure readers understand why I need to present my tenure materials digitally. It is linked to from my tenure portfolio: http://www.ceball.com. Suggestions welcome. (I am going up for tenure during the 2009-10 academic year.)

Unlike most other videos that show users how to change an individual reference to use hanging indents in Word, this video approaches formatting through the use of Styles, which allows users to change ALL references with a single button instead of formatting every individual/new reference that is added.

This 17-minute screencast of a prezi was composed for the Digital Humanities 2013 conference in Lincoln, NE (for presentation on July 17, 2013). This is the long version of the video. A shorter, 7-minute version was edited and presented in my absence at the conference.

**Abstract for the roundtable on "The Future of Undergraduate Digital Humanities"**

Ball highlights how digital writing studies (a discipline beginning its fourth decade that integrates digital technology into its writing pedagogy and research) has always focused on issues current to discussions of "making" in the digital humanities: collaboration, openness, multimodality, and peer-review. Ball argues that a digital publishing curriculum, in which undergraduate students theorize and produce texts meant for an audience outside of the classroom (a key concept to digital writing studies pedagogy), is a model for DH in how it bridges theory and praxis across multiple disciplines in the humanities.

This video is a draft of a student project being used in an open-access digital book called The New Work of Composing. The student video is a docu-commentary (parodying "The Office") on students' views of teachers' use of technology in the classroom. Shots of teachers from the Thomas R. Watson Conference on Rhetoric and Composition are used with permission. For information, contact Dr. Cheryl E. Ball.

This is the test video I made to show NMWS participants how to upload to YouTube. Whoohoo!

This is a manifesto created in English 402.01 at Illinois State University. The manifesto is about ways we believe writing can and should be taught in classes like first-year composition (but not only FYC). This manifesto was made in class based on our current semester's readings so far. The syllabus is at http://www.ceball.com/classes/402/fall09. This manifesto does not (yet!) represent ISU in whole or in part, and it is (so far) only representative of Dr. Cheryl E. Ball's Monday afternoon Teaching Composition graduate course.
