The Book Stops Here Apr09 With Outline Notes

Rachael Sullivan presents on critiquing the traditional understanding of "text" and the privileging of print culture in higher education. She argues that digital natives demonstrate literacies that challenge print culture norms. While generational differences and a narrow definition of "texts" promote print favoritism, digital texts are interactive and open-ended. The materiality of print creates expectations that don't always transfer to digital media. Educators should embrace diverse literacies and not assume one approach.
