Writing New Media

"With the rapid advance of electronic media in academe, in the writing classroom, and in the workplace, college teachers of composition are faced with the need to teach writing for a number of new venues, with a number of new technologies. The four authors of Writing New Media address the expansion of their field by proposing an expanded vision of composition—one informed by what's possible in new media and by the changing conceptions of 'composition' those new media bring. And they offer practical applications taken from their own classroom assignments to make their theorizing more concrete." (Amazon.com)
