Transforming Composition:
Agency in Computer-mediated Classes


Conference on College Composition and Communication
Saturday, March 22, 2003, 11a.m.-1215 p.m.


The ease with which computers allow teachers and students to integrate visual images with verbal communication is transforming our definitions of composition and communication and altering the ways we teach "writing" and "writing-intensive" classes. The computer itself becomes an agent in the instructional process, inviting teachers to reconfigure their teaching: allowing, encouraging, and sometimes requiring pictures, sound, and animation in compositions.
