Presentation Description

Students in college-level writing courses are increasingly equipped with the tools and rhetorical instincts to create meaningful remixes of text, images, audio, and video. Writing teachers are in the critical position to teach their students to effectively research digital texts to remix and to be ethical citizens who are knowledgeable about issues of intellectual property when refashioning material. This presentation explores how college-level writing teachers can shape assignments in response to the growing remixing movement, especially when considered in light of the ACLR Information Literacy Competency Standards.
