Coley (English, U. of Mary Hardin-Baylor) examines ethical considerations in the use of digital media tools in writing classrooms, particularly first-year composition; the text would also be
relevant to undergraduate and graduate instructors teaching other writing-intensive courses and using digital media as a method of student content creation, as well as others using digital
media in their teaching in general. Coley opens with an overview of the changing nature of writing and instructors' obligations, national initiatives for digital literacy and the response of
K-12 and higher education, and approaches to researching the digitally mediated writing classroom. Subsequent chapters focus on three key areas instructors and researchers should
address--audience awareness as an ethical construct, academic integrity, and the drive for digital literacy--and suggestions for developing an "ethics of digital composing curriculum."
