This project details four dilemmas writing teachers face when deciding if, when, and how much digital, multi-media writing to include in a course or curriculum. Each section--composition creep, accessibility, intellectual property, and assessment--includes includes a framework and rationale for the dilemma, pedagogical resources, and student examples.

Mentored Undergraduate Research
Hosted by the Center for Excellence in Learning at Elon University, I participated in a 3-year, cross institutional research initiative studying students' evolving identities as they participate in undergraduate research (UGR) programs, such as FSU's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program.
This archive, which houses over 5000 postcards and 150 student-produced exhibits, was developed as a site for research on writing, visual rhetoric, multimodality, social construction, materiality, and the circulation of an historic instance of social media. Students are involved in every level of curation within the archive from recording postcard metadata to developing and editing exhibits.
