When I consider the introduction of digital projects into my classes, most of which are introductory composition, I also think about the fact that this is an additional skill demanded of students in a 16 week course where they need to learn everything fro ...
I have seen similar realities play out in my own classes. My students are rather savvy with social media, but know little about production on the internet. What I know about coding was based as much on necessity as anything else. Hosting a blog in the lat ...
This is some really interesting and very important work. I really like the way that you are considering the material and the digital. I had not heard of Nollywood until this post and am interested in finding out how it develops. Your post reminds me of o ...
