Offers a thorough look at peer review in virtual environments.
Description
In a reassessment of peer review practices, Lee-Ann Kastman Breuch explores how computer technology changes our understanding of this activity. She defines "virtual peer review" as the use of computer technology to exchange and respond to one another's writing in order to improve it. Arguing that peer review goes through a remediation when conducted in virtual environments, the author suggests that virtual peer review highlights a unique intersection of social theories of language and technological literacy.
Lee-Ann Kastman Breuch is Assistant Professor of Rhetoric at the University of Minnesota at Twin Cities.
