The Digital Media and Composition Institute at The Ohio State University, founded by Cynthia L. Selfe and Scott L. DeWitt in 2006, is a two-week summer institute co-hosted by OSU’s English Department and Digital Media Project.
On 9 August 2001, I engaged in an email conversation with Dr. Donna E. Alvermann, Distinguished Research Professor at the University of Georgia, about media literacy education. We traded electronic observations about media literacy over the course of approximately two hours, each sitting in our university office in front of our respective computer screens, Donna’s in Athens, Georgia, and mine in West Lafayette, Indiana.
