A Note on the Design
I chose to create this resource as a webtext primarily
because, given the subject matter, it seemed inappropriate to
present this information on a printed page. Additionally,
portions of the webtext are intentionally media-rich,
demonstrating the aspects of digital literacy they describe. The Multimodal Composition page includes images in the "Visuals" section,
an audio podcast in the "Sound" section, and a video in the
"Multimodal Composition" section; the
Information page contains
multiple hyperlinks; and the Collaboration
page is accompanied by links to social media networks, as well as a link to an annotatable version of the page.
