This is the 7th annual Computers and Writing Online Conference. Organizers invite those interested in technology and writing to participate in this online conference which complements the face-to-face conference that will be held in May at Texas Tech University.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Making Knowledge on the Digital Frontier” and organizers invite proposals addressing themes such as:

• “New” technologies such as wikis and blogs in the writing classroom—technologies that are changing the way we deliver and administer courses in support of our students’ learning
• Reconsideration of past propositions about how computer networks are best suited for learning and instruction
• Writing and learning communities online across distance and culture
• The sociology of digital communities
• The interface between Rhetoric and Composition theory and technology
• The technologies of Technical Communication: theory, practice, pedagogy
• Online portfolios—the state of the art
• Visual rhetoric and new media

Proposals are due November 30, 2005. See the conference call for proposals (http://english.ttu.edu/cw/cwo2006/cfp.html) for details.
