_Kairos: A Journal For Teachers of Writing in Webbed Environments_
Kairos is a *true* hypertext journal: it explores all aspects of the
pedagogical and scholarly uses of hypertexts, and is written in
hypertextual format. This new hypertext journal is designed to serve as a
resource for teachers, researchers, and tutors of writing at the college
and university level, including: Technical Writing, Business Writing,
Professional Communication, Creative Writing, Composition, and Literature.
Therefore, we are calling for hypertexts addressing the following:
* theoretical essays designed to help ground practice in pedagogical
theory and vice-versa;
* empirical research reports conducted in and related to the networked
writing classrooms;
* editorials from teachers regarding past experiences;
* sample syllabi, with notes and commentary from the teachers and
students;
* commentary and reviews of on resources, including websites, M**spaces,
listservs, newsgroups and print resources;
* reviews of pertinent software;
* examinations and translations of previously linear texts into hypertexts
(e.g. Deluze and Gutarri's _Mille Plateau_ and Lyotard's _The PostModern
Condition_).
(If you are a novice with hypertext, we can help you--don't let that keep
you from submitting.)
