Institutional Dimensions of Academic Computing
Selber, Stuart A.
College Composition and Communication, v61 n1 p10-34 Sep 2009
Academic institutions mediate online literacy practices in meaningful and significant ways. This essay explores the nature of that mediational process, using a visual-spatial method to map out and conceptualize dynamics and structures that have a bearing on the work of composition. A key argument is that composition teachers are intellectually positioned to influence institutional approaches to academic computing. (Contains 3 figures and 2 notes.)
