In response, our class—Writing and Rhetoric About the Environment—sought to make collaboration our key point of emphasis. Rather than compete against one another for grades, the students worked in groups to create projects they presented at Chapman University’s Student Scholarly Symposium where they shared their research and engaged with a live (Zoom) audience. This Scalar book is a documentation of that semester. On it, you won’t find perfectly executed projects, but a portfolio that illustrates the students’ processes as they experimented with new technologies that enabled their growth as researchers, compositionists, and activists. Just like the climate outside our windows, our digital environment is ever-evolving and, like William A. Kretzschmar says, “the word “finish” is just not part of the deal.”
