New Media, New Literacies, New Opportunities for Learning

In a recent article in AAUP's Academe Online, Jason Ohler articulated differences in the media literacies between traditional learning opportunities, and new opportunities. "New Media Literacies" specifically looks at the shift from read-only technologies, to what Ohler calls write-possible technogies. Ohler suggests we build learning opportunities based on students literacies, not only those literacies that might be identified as traditional classroom opportunties.
