Though multiple studies have measured the efficacy of a newly introduced technological systems of practice to improve writing, much less research has gone into understanding the compositional design of what ‘good’ represents or how value may skew toward the various ideologies that support other stakeholders in addition to the implementing entity. Writing technologies, measured by the criteria of the very literacies which they enact (digital proficiency determining the value of digital tools, for example, mobile proficiency determining the value of mobile tools) often introduce cycles of spending in SLACs which compel them to re-invest in simulacrums of the externally defined modern or good even as the internal struggles that justify spending remain consistent and problematic. This study, borrowing from the spatial analysis of scholars like Pigg (2014) and genre studies of Spinuzzi (2003), looks at how the propositions of a 1:1 technology initiative cut across a local community and were shared, lived, and governed collectively to see the multimodal whole of a community plan to create innovation and improve their social condition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35773,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Composition","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 102907"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143159074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

And a related and equally important question: what do we owe ourselves? In 2024, just over two years into the public existence of OpenAI's ChatGPT, the contexts for these questions are perhaps more complicated than ever, but I think the answers are mostly the same: we owe our students equitable classrooms, space to try and to fail, compassion and care, and authentic engagement. We owe them the rights our discipline affirmed almost fifty years ago when CCCC adopted Students’ Right to Their Own Language as the official position of the largest organization of writing teachers in the world. This article reviews an approach to the current Generative AI moment that is rooted in these commitments and reflects an approach I call “informed refusal,” which allows us to acknowledge the existence of generative AI without requiring students to use generative AI products. We can continue to teach critical literacies and attend to the things that make first-year writing classrooms unique, especially our attention to individualized feedback on students’ writing and our attention to helping students build self-efficacy via sustainable writing processes and reflective habits of mind. At the same time, I argue against the adoption of detectors and other writing surveillance technologies because of the ways that such tools reinforce overly simplistic notions of plagiarism (Moore-Howard) and can harm our relationships with students.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35773,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Composition","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 102908"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143159075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data-collection methods included analysis of generative AI tool-usage history, classroom video observations, surveys, and interviews. The findings reveal that students leveraged generative AI’s capabilities across five key areas: content generation, feedback and revision, multilingual support, critical thinking, and visual representation. The integration of AI tools followed distinct stages in the composition process, resulting in enhancements to the vocabulary, grammar, and structural elements of students’ work. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the intersection of generative AI, education, and multimodal literacy, with a particular emphasis on human-AI collaboration in multicultural settings.

But at the same time, when students are limited to choosing from available online resources, their voices might be compromised due to the incompatibility between their authorial intentions and the materials available to them. This study, therefore, investigates whether the use of generative AI tools could help student authors construct a more consistent voice in multimodal writing. In this study, we have designed a photo essay assignment where students recount a story in the form of photo essays and prompt AI image-generating tools to create photos for their storytelling. Drawing on interview data, written reflections, written annotations, and multimodal products from seven focal participants, we have identified two remixing practices–<em>layering</em> and <em>blending</em>–through which students attempted to establish a coherent and unique voice in writing. The study sheds light on the intentional and discursive nature of multimodal writing with AI as afforded by the technological flexibility, while also highlighting the practical and ethical challenges that could be attributed to students’ insufficient prompt and multimodal literacy and the innate limitations of AI systems. This study provides important implications for incorporating AI tools in designing multimodal writing tasks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35773,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Composition","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 102893"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142745258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study, conducted at a Singaporean university, required students to transform a written essay draft into a video essay and then revise their draft into a written essay assignment. By comparing students’ initial drafts and their final submissions, and analysing interviews and reflective journals, we identified significant benefits stemming from the transmediation between written and multimodal text. Specifically, we found that 1) transmediation enabled students to self-evaluate their writing as they repeatedly listened to their voiceovers, found concrete visuals to illustrate their ideas, and edited their work to fit the concise video format; 2) students broke with habitual, less useful revision practices as they were freed from the conventional and grammatical concerns of written academic text and narrated their arguments colloquially in their voiceovers; 3) students exhibited an improved awareness of audience and medium; and 4) students were more enthusiastic with the course due to the novelty of the multimodal assignment. These findings suggest that including a video essay assignment during the drafting process can serve as an effective tool in advancing students’ abilities to evaluate their own academic writing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35773,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Composition","volume":"74 ","pages":"Article 102891"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
