Professor Roberts will create an interactive textbook for Communications 2321, Writing for Strategic Communication. The textbook would serve as the primary text for Communications 2321. The course typically enrolls about 180 students annually. Roberts plans to supplement the project by utilizing the iBook digital format, e-book version, class blogs and an iTunes U course. Furthermore, she hopes the interactive format of the text will foster a better foundation for learning in future classes, as well as inspire more engagement among students.

Roberts will include inclusive writing outcomes in her course and employ the conscious writing framework with her students to teach inclusive writing practices. Students will be required to write a feature article on a marginalized group, particularly one of which they are not a member. She will also incorporate her own original work on digital activism and the Black Lives Matter movement and its implications.
