Scenes from Writing and Rhetoric

Production Lab

The Writing Rhode Island Production Lab, located in Roosevelt 318 and 320, is truly a place for Writing & Rhetoric students to call their own--a hub where they can brainstorm, collaborate, and create with top line amenities. The lab’s design is drawn from ideas on how writers work, from how a group is most comfortable when its members collaborate to the type of space an individual writer needs to move from brainstorming, into production and revision, and finally delivery.production lab

Initiated by grants from the URI Foundation, the Provost's Office, the Honors Program, the College of Arts & Sciences, and the Department of Writing & Rhetoric, the lab is continually expanding in terms of space and technology.

Currently, the lab features twelve high-end Apple computers, all complete with various multimedia software packages, video capture capabilities, and wireless printing access. In addition, it houses a scanner, comb binder, a small library of resource materials, and several laptops, iPads and digital cameras for check out purposes. Most recently, the lab acquired enough voice recorders, flip video cameras, and tablet PCs for an entire writing class to use during field research projects.

Faculty, graduate instructors, and students enrolled in lab fee courses may use the lab and/or check out equipment to prepare multimedia content for technology and field research based courses.

Questions about how to use the lab and/or its equipment? Please contact Joannah Portman Daley, Associate Director of Technology for WRT.
