DWRL/DIIA Collaboration Yields Video Game for Rhetoric Students

The Faculty and Student Teams for Technology (~FAST Tex) program has teamed up with the Digital Writing and Research Lab (DWRL) and Division of Instructional Innovation and Assessment (DIIA) to develop a new learning tool for rhetoric students.

Rhetorical Peaks is a game inspired by David Lynch's Twin Peaks television series. The game uses several digital mediums, such as Second Life. Students follow a murder mystery narrative but must complete rhetorical exercises, practice argumentation, and sharpen their analytical skills to solve the game.
