ARCHIMEDIA

ArchiMedia Lab is the research arm of MIT's Writing, Rhetoric, and Professional Communication program (WRAP)... ArchiMedia Lab began in 2014, when the principal investigators, Suzanne Lane and Andreas Karatsolis, received a d'Arbeloff grant to develop online communication instruction for communication-intensive engineering project laboratory subjects. From that initial project, two more research projects emerged: the development and assessment of Disciplinary Reasoning Diagrams, and a study of the emerging genre of graphical abstracts. The reasoning diagram project received a grant from the Davis Educational Foundation. Over the years, a number of graduate research assistants, undergraduate researchers, and lecturers in Writing, Rhetoric, and Professional Communication (WRAP) have joined the ArchiMedia research team on various projects.
