Researchers and educators working in a 'digital age' are by now familiar with discussions about the emerging potential of electronic rhetoric to articulate research along with the application of new tools in pedagogy and the mediation of digitally enhanced inquiry in multimodal online communication. In this article we refer to this as 'wiki-d' discourse. This neolgism points has several senses....
