Cooper seems to see it as a sign of growth that one student removed his blog after considering his reading audience, because he felt that blog writing became too much of "writing for someone else" and not "writing to learn" (186). Does this trouble our sense of blogs as potential learning tools? Is it possible that the public nature of blog writing is stifling student learning, rather than promoting it?
Journet feels that, despite the sense that "other disciplines or departments may be better suited" to teach multimodal literacy, "no other academic unit appears...eager or willing to do so" (190). Does this seem to be the case at Ohio University? Does it follow that, even if other departments are unwilling to teach multimodal literacy, the English department is automatically the best qualified to do so?
