Description
In the digital age, information is rarely disseminated in black and white print, yet we continue to assign this delivery method in College Composition. Moving to multimedia essay format is essential to meet the communication needs of the 21st-century student, but is also intimidating to writing teachers. Such assignments tend devolve into copy-and-paste slide shows and poorly-written blog posts. This presentation will interact with instructor anxiety and resistance related to the digital essay format. Furthermore, this session will present best practices for including meaningful, rigorous multimedia projects in College Composition.
