This is a great topic. I come from the world of Free Software but too often it is the world of White and Asian males (us, priviledged? Are you serious?). Other access devices such as tablets and phones remove or denigrate the keyboard making users more passive consumers rather than participants. In my opinion, we need more programs like freegeekchicago.org/ which put usable computers in the hands of the poor in the US.

Sign me up. I teach at two community colleges in Southern California, one of which serves students in South Central. I want to make sure my students are proficient in this type of writing without making them feel financially burdened or socially deficient because they don’t have an iPhone, iPad, etc.

I, too, am excited about this session: I second the assessment issue; the other day, I told a colleague that I needed to create a rubric for digital writing assignments, and she told me to just use my traditional one. I’m sure she was trying to be supportive, but I felt like she was missing the point…I’m happy to know I’m not alone.

Comment on Teach & Talk Session: For Whom Is Digital Writing Accessible? by Elisa Meyer

This sounds wonderful; I feel like accessibility is always a concern; as much as I try to be aware of different guidelines and services, I have accessibility anxiety.

I also would like to discuss digital writing assignments and how to assess them. I’m an art historian and I’m hoping to find more ideas for assignments that allow students to combine writing with images in fruitful ways, and to find technologies that enable interactive commentary on their work.

This looks like an interesting session. I’d like to share ideas about digital writing assignments, too. I’m wondering whether you include these in other traditional writing courses. My rationale is that contemporary students need to practice writing in digital spaces in their first-year experience. What’s your take on this notion?
