Not an easy choice
Two projects for my Digital Literacies English course
By Brittany Ullman
Editor: Brittany Ullman is a sophomore Creative Writing student. The
following are two projects she created for one of her courses, Digital
Literacies. Enjoy…
In the spring 2014 semester, I took an Introduction to Digital
Literacies English course which had the goal of teaching students more
about how English and the digital world coincide. Many of the
projects in this class involved working with various online mediums
(such as websites, blogs, wikis, etc.); and the final exam was to
create a multi-modal website. The website was required to discuss
a topic pertaining to a discussion surrounding the student’s
major/profession of choice. For my project, I chose to examine
how technology was transforming the copyediting world. Even
though I did not agree with the results that I found, my website
informed my audience about how technology may be replacing copyeditors
in the future.

In the same Digital Literacies class, one of the other projects that
the class participated in was a blog that discussed everything
occurring in the class. All of the students were broken up into
groups of four to five people, and each member was to contribute three
blog posts throughout the semester with an additional two comments each
week. The concept of the project was not only to teach the
students on how to create a blog, but also how to properly conduct
oneself on the internet.
