• What is/should be the role of technology in the humanities? According to Bret deBary,  "Although university culture and its mode of teaching have been print-based for centuries, current students are frequently more visually based and much more attuned to digital media. [. . . ] Ultimately, it is important educationally that students experience the joys of a range of different media, including literature, art, and music, indeed, a lyric poem, which draws its power from the way it turns us to the wonders of language." [Quoted in Biddy Martin's 2007 Provost's Address]

• What do instructors--both at the graduate and at the professoriate level--need to know to teach students multimodal composition?
