To: the editors of The New Work of Composing A Proposal for Writing An Introduction Working title: Talking Back to Our Teachers: Undergraduate research of Teaching Multimodal Composition
Having “read” the three pieces composed and accepted as a chapter for the digital book The New Work of Composing by the students from Illinois State University, I am requesting permission to submit a daft of an introduction for the chapter in which they are to be contained. I recognized the value of these pieces before I read the Call For Submissions and became excited by the prospect of their publication. as a result I want to add an overarching and connecting introduction to present them. After having read the CFS, and more fully understanding the topic of the project, I find myself in sincere hope that you will accept my proposition. The draft I am submitting takes the form of a multimodal compositing comprised of text, images, audio, and AVI video imbedded in the Sophie composition framework in anticipation of a web browser plug-in. The existing draft is an attempt to support the three individual projects and present their unified goals. It seeks to mark the place and time in which these works are situated. The aim of my introduction is to foreground an issue I perceive all three pieces as revolving around. The issue is that of digital immigrant/native perspective of current education issues. These three projects present a desire of students for a dialogue between students and teachers rather than two separate “sides” not talking to each other. They present a digital divide not of the have technology or not have technology, it is, in their view, that of how involved teachers are in what students see as a logical employment of digital technology. Thought provoking request to include more technologies into the teaching/learning process ranging from use of the internet for research to web 2.0 applications. It is an introduction not only to the pieces it highlights but also to some of the more esoteric issues, such as the Technological Singularity, which I feel is essential to understanding the full debate because of what the persistent advance of hardware and software may do for student and teacher interaction.. In addition to the general introduction and the focus on parallel concepts, I have also included an author’s reflection in AVI form towards the end. If you accept my proposal and I have not completely achieved this goal, please inform me of the necessary editing I may need to do to accomplish this. Jonathan Myers.
Revisions to proposal Largely my revisions were to clarify my proposal. As was pointed out frame feedback, I never really discussed the works I am attempting to introduce. This was a major failing in the proposal. That problem is derived from my attempts to not overshadow the original three pieces. The result was, in my attempts to communicate my desire to hold up the work i seek to introduce without eclipsing them, I actually did eclipse them by not giving them their due space in my proposal. I tweaked some of the language I used to eliminate the sense of dominance. Part of that was bringing into the proposal an overview description of what I saw as the common treads between them as I read through the three works, which is what excited me about the potential of writing an introduction for them. This is one of those cases where I over thought my writing. I wanted to achieve the objective of saying that I really respect the three pieces and would be honored to be allowed to write the introduction. The actual result was the opposite of that goal which i feel is also found in the draft I wrote.

| Review Letter to Jason Dockter for the Final Project |
Jason, There is a clear sense of how the reader should move through the piece. What more can I say? It has a linier layout yet can be jumped around in if needed. The potential for possible “go back” from on section or another is very plainly obvious. As a reference object for students the titles of the sections promotes clear memory association. The one thing I might see changing is placing the competed piece as a front page rather than the last link in the sequence. We, as consumers of DVDs, have acquired a UI language or procedure. This language or procedure is a natural inclination of watching a feature film first and then to seek out “making of” special features. By placing the completed piece first you will potential be activating that natural inclination which might foster grater engagement and/or retention of the information provided. Here i now pick nits... the way in which the links are set in the title banner is kind of cumbersome and jarring for me. I’m not sure this can be rectified with WordPress. A positive feature of this is it is actually a way in which you can inform first year comp students that you do not actually expect perfection from them in a first time MMC work... how could you. It is a complicated process that take years of experimentation to refine. You and I are both somewhat experienced in this form of comp and we are still negotiation and compromising in getting our point across. Choices: One of my secret indulgences is a love for instruction materials, especially those for software. I have a pretty decent collection of such things (some are for products I have never actually owned LOL). I am really into instructional design. I mention this so you understand the depth of the following statement: if this is intended to be an instructional piece or to be transformed into an instructional piece, your general design choices are superb in a make-sense sort of way. There are no frivolous interjections. The intent is clear. If I didn’t know any better I would have guessed that you have take at least one tech writing course. Well done! The organization makes perfect sense. The step by step processing does its job. A strength of the piece is that it has a casual tone, but not a too casual tone. It is conversational yet informative. I loved the cat btw! Purpose/Focus: Yeah, I think it is clear. one thing i might suggest you consider is perhaps shifting the “discussion of literature” section some how. I cannot tell you what I mean by that. It’s an intuition thing on my part. It works where it is but I wonder if you can make it work harder in some way. Credibility: Credibility was deffinately established throughout the piece. Appreciation: I actually really appreciate what this is. Putting myself in the shoes of a completely inexperienced student this work would provide me not with confidence (which is something we must develop) but it would provide me with a good bit of courage. To see what my teacher has done for a similar assignment, to see the difficulties inherent to a MMC and how they are overcome would be important to me. As a teacher I see this as an invaluable tool (in fact it has been bookmarked to that potential). It is something I can see using to the above mentioned purpose. Other thoughts: I understand your concern for online student affinity with necessary technologies and the fact that in that situation you will not be able to provide hands-on assistance. That is a tough call but a necessary call. One thing i have concern for is if this were transformed into a purely instructional piece is that it is Mac centric. I know, I know, i am yet again raising the PC banner but it is a necessary action, especially when considering you would be presenting this as an online material. The fact of the matter is that Mac only has a 20% penetration. PC still owns the field. This means that as much as or more than 80% of your students would be using PC. In this it might be necessary to comment on the differences between the two in some way or at least provide a resources page that would give your PC students “options”. If this is only a documentary piece, it is perfectly fine in this regard. As an experienced and resourceful PC user, I can translate tools well. As a result of viewing this I have actually decided to abandon my use of Adobe Premiere Pro. It is too much of an elitist program and is, in some ways, not as user friendly as Windows Movie Maker... meaning Premiere Pro is too dissimilar from iMovie that it creates a divide between myself and other MMC “producers”. I’ll even go as far to say that I now feel a responsibility to actually pick up a Mac if I find myself teaching a MMC class so I can speak both “languages” to the benefit of those possible students. But, I’ll never give up my PCs! Its necessary for my overall personal project <wink> The discussion of literature section probably needs to be </br>up some. It is a really long block of text. I have always found such structures difficult. As a reader I personally like the breaks so i can keep my place when reading. The blog and the YouTube upload both have sound problems. The levels music related assets were starkly different from your talking. This had me jumping in my chair even when I came to expect it. Making these match might help prevent your students from having seizures and/or panic attacks. I hope this helps and was not too long winded Jonathan send commants to: onyxangel13@hotmail.com Comments: 0 |

To: the editors of The New Work of Composing Introduction for undergraduate Multi-Modal Research Pieces Having “read” the three pieces composed and accepted as a chapter for the digital book The New Work of Composing by the students from Illinois State University, I am requesting permission to submit a daft of an introduction for the chapter in which they are to be contained. My personal, and positive, judgment of the value of these pieces was determined before reading the Call For Submissions. After having read the CFS, and more fully understanding the topic of the project, I find myself in sincere hope that you will accept my proposition. The draft I am submitting takes the form of a multimodal compositing comprised of text, images, audio, and AVI video imbedded in the Sophie composition framework in anticipation of a web browser plug-in. The existing draft acknowledges the import of the three individual projects as a whole. It seeks to, at first mark the place and time in which these works are situated, and second to draw out the debate the student authorial groups may not have had a complete awareness of entering. It is an introduction not only to the pieces it highlights but also to some of the more esoteric issues, such as the Technological Singularity, which I feel is essential to understanding the totality debate. In addition to the general introduction and the focus on parallel concepts, I have also included an authors reflection in AVI form towards the end of the exposition. There has been, on my part, a conscious effort to not subsume the undergraduate works into a larger manifesto decrying the digital immigrant/native perspective of current education issues. If you accept my proposal and I have not completely achieved this goal, please inform me of the necessary editing I may need to do to accomplish this.

I HAVE A PICTURE! This always helps... I have to admit, I am actually relatively familiar with the “official” version of Rice+Ball, which will slant my assessment somewhat. I also have to say from my initial reading of that version I have had the desire to go in and restructure it just for kicks. inlight if that desire, I will keep this very brief. So, on with the picture! Rather than write a long meandering post I have this picture as reference (which is a link to a larger version of the picture). For simplicity I’ll be working with elements developed for the final version rather than developing my own. I can’t say that I would have come up with something starkly different from what you all did. In reading the letters it seems to me the biggest issue in the letter writers’ reading was navigation and some stability problems. The final submitted version largely solved a lot of those issues by integrating the relatively or seemingly disconnected sections more closely. The over all changes i would recommend is a change in the macro navigation so a reader/user would have a better understanding of where they are. Inducing a feel of being in a fixed location as I have here should accomplish this. I would situate the elements in a three div layout. The mute piece as either a flash or a YouTube insert in the right-hand upper div. It either can be played as situated in its div or full screen. The remote imbedded in the lower right-hand div. The links at the bottom of the left hand div are a footer embedded in that div. In the letters there is a mention of problems with the mute video poem. By imbedding it in the upper right-hand div as described those problems should largely have been resolved. Additionally, by arraigning it as it is illustrated a user can have access to it as needed in reading the rest of the piece rather than losing it through navigation to other parts of this piece. The “buttons” in lower right-hand div and the links in the footer activate the left-hand hand dive, meaning those buttons and links change the left-hand div appearance bringing into play the elements they represent in the final version. “play movie” is the home button that reasserts the original (before activating any of the buttons) layout as illustrated in the image I have provided.

Progress Report |
Given the title, I suppose I should be progressing. Fortunately I am. However, I really don’t have much to report. Main project: i am still collecting assets for one of the three videos I am creating. Today I am recording the audio for that particular piece. I have recorded the elements of one and will start assembling the clips for it in class. I am not satisfied with the audio for that one and have decided to record a loop to replace it. I’ll be recording the last video Thursday or Friday. That particular video will be pretty easy. I’ve decided to set up and frame this one as if I have been conducting an ongoing YouTube blog and am responding to viewer submitted questions. I can pump out the associated text in a day or so. I have decided to not create a video that is a compilation of clips from the three works my work is to be introducing. What I have to say about them will be part of the text. I have come to the conclusion of if i were to use portions of the three works my work may subjugate them making them part of an unintended agenda. I am exerting a good amount of control over this project in the sense that it is desperately wanting to become an independent manifesto. Though a threat to my aim, this will not happen. As I have been working on this project my perceptions of certain aspects of multimodal work have become altered. I can see a potential for a paper in my increased understandings. I have not had the opportunity to even really touch the analysis from earlier in the semester. Reworking that is another one to one and a half day project. it will get done. I am selfishly withholding comments about the mechinima composition. I would like to formulate a publishable paper, a guide to understanding the process. I see it as a kind of compositions manifesto, if you will. Crunch time is upon me. Though we are only supposed to have a beta by the 22nd I would actually like to push it out to the point of being pretty much done by then. After the 22nd I don’t want to have to deal with too much further revision of it, though I may have to. 04/08/2009 send commants to: onyxangel13@hotmail.com Comments: 0 |
Prediction #78 (I initially made about 3 years ago) |
This is where I want to say "damn, I’m good!" but I will refrain. The reason for this abstinence from gloating is this is only part of my prediction. The fact that it must project on a surface is not quite what I have been saying. What is needed to be precisely accurate is the device must be much smaller and more capable (roughly the power of a current gaming or media production laptop) and have an “invisible” HUD that projects onto a small screen or visor or directly into the eye. At first these devices will have the power of a Blackberry or an iPhone. A little more than a year after that they will achieve the power I am pointing to. Within 5 years of that advance these wondrous devices will replace the cell phone, the laptop computer, the MP3 player/portable media device, and perhaps even the home PC... and it won’t be made by Apple. The real key, in the end, will be the display format. This technology represents an essential alteration in our interactivity with our world. It is the advance that will herald an absolute change in our composition needs and practices. It will encourage multimodal compositions few can conceive of now. Heck, it will change what we mean by “multimodal composition”. Imagine creating a composition that is placed in a global database geosynchronously situated so a potential reader does not search for it or call it up, they intersect with it by walking through a trigger point, which can be made public or addressing a specific person.. Talk about changing the nature of hypertextuality

Progress report |
Sorry, I completely forgot to do this last week. I wish I had something more material to report than I do. I’m still at the point of thinking about this project. don’t worry though. For me doing any project of any type involves roughly 70% thinking and then 30% doing. Where my thoughts have taken me thus far has been very profitable. I have escaped the idea of native/immigrant and that misconception of the singularity having already arrived without fracturing the valid conclusions of the article those ideas sprung from. The mistake in native/immigrant is it relies on social and economic forms and conceptions. This places, among other things, a value that is extremely counter productive in communicating the idea of “digital affinity”. Native/immigrant also produces a vastly harmful and ill-conceived binary that places blinders upon our eyes regarding access. I at first indulged in this conception as a binary, attempting to appropriate the native/immigrant conception for myself. I understood before i attempted this that it would not bare any fruit. A binary is always a dangerous structure when discussing people. It puts those categorized in positions of opposition. I then looked at it as a triptych. My hope in this was to container the essence in the idea of native/immigrant while putting forth a third option that describes a blend of both sides of the binary. I had some hope for this but quickly recognized that it would not work because this third element was insufficient. I immediately discarded a quad approach. Too many terms to keep straight... this would only inflate the issue of reconfiguration. I then refocused my attention on the idea of The Singularity. In this i determined that upon achieving a technological singularity, as was implied as already having occurred in the article, that the singularity would perpetuate itself with little or no assistance from humans. This is an important deduction. Even in the midst of a singularity there will be technologies and people consistently progressing into newer forms but because of the nature of the singularity these people would actually be in a state of “always already there” awaiting a proper name to be applied to identify them. But, because of the speed at which the singularity advances a naming convention could not be effectively employed. That’s when it hit me! Singularity actually describes a kind of movement or state. It is a condition where in the object, in the strict case of Kurzweil’s singularity being technologies, are in a constant state of transition. Immediately Kirk Cameron’s crocoduck came to mind. This then overlaid the myth of inelegant design on native/immigrant. That binary describes something that simply cannot exist given all factors concerned. The reality is that this issue of “digital affinity” , in its complexity, describes transitional states. The intelligent design community insists on the presentation of a transitional species to prove evolution. The reality is that all species, all members alive, dead or yet to be are “always already” a transitional form and may or may not possess attribution of the next major special leap. Thus, at any given time, no matter how acclimated any individual is in the world or not, we are all contributing to the ongoing development of multimodal interaction, reaction, creation, or consumption. We, as a global culture, are in constant transition, each individual possessing something to contribute to the progressive conversation that is digital composition. In this i see, in each of the three compositions from last semester, elements that can be brought together to pretty much explain away the native/immigrant binary while retaining the importance of that article that then points us in a more constructive direction in examining the “cross pollination” of those with digital affinity and those with out. It is not that we are all either a native or immigrant, it is that we are all representations of transition. We are transitional participants. send commants to: onyxangel13@hotmail.com Comments: 0 |

| OMG, CFP, WTF |
So, what were the responses? “Tight” and “gnarly”. This is what I get for sending it out to Californians... aging surfer Californians (they are in their 50s). The people who saw this understood the information, where it was pointing them to and the purpose of the CFP (with the title Call Foe Papers how can one misconstrue its purpose?). The only real question was why i used a “video game” as the information dispersal platform. My two responses to this are 1. please remove the implied “it’s just a” from the front of video game. 2. Star was Galaxies is not a videogame... which is ultimately the point of using SWG mechinima. send commants to: onyxangel13@hotmail.com Comments: 0 |
Final Draft? |
I am providing both a linked version and. an imbedded version of the CFP. The link is to a file on my server... I prefer the file because it is the full length version.
Oh how I hate YouTube! My reasoning for this are, admittedly, purely elitist. I dislike YouTube for the same reason I dislike Television: it is mostly mental clutter. Indeed, I will admit there are gems buried in YouTube just as there are in TV programming. But, like TV, those gems are few and far between. This is my first mechinima composition. I have been involved in the “filming” of several mechinima productions over the years but I have not been on the editing and conversion end of it. On one hand, it is as simple as it seems: film, edit, assemble, export, and upload. On the other hand, it is not. I have yet to figure out how to format video to the best resolution. I suspect the poor resolution is because of the program I used to do my captures. In my uploading to YouTube I had difficulty with the final uploaded render. YouTube has been cutting off the last five seconds of my composition. I have no clue why. The problem with this result is the link information is in that final five seconds. This is a problem. Though I have had copious difficulties I feel as if I have found a new form of expression I wish to explore. I will keep at it until I get this whole mechinima thing down. I still consider this work a draft. I have problems with the rendering and pixilation. 2/18/2009 send commants to: onyxangel13@hotmail.com Comments: 0 |

| The Canon Shot Heard Around the Classroom |
I want to precede this post with the statement that I am not a video game nut. I have a REAL life and a REAL academic agenda. It just happens that video games are a relative aspect of my work. I will not “preach” the worth of video games in our culture. I will not spend any time telling anyone they should play video games. I will say that every person should spend some time examining virtual environments, which are not necessarily video games, which are not necessarily activated by computers or their relatives, which are not necessarily absolutely apparent as virtual environments at all. I will let you know that no one should dismiss video games as “just” video games, because they are not “just”. They are the newest and an increasingly influential form in global culture. In the article “Using Literary Theory to Read Games: Power, Ideology, and Repression in Atlus' Growlanser: Heritage of War” by Johansen Quijano-Cruz in eludamos Vol. 2, No. 2 (2008) a question is raised by the author. This is a question of how do and how should academics approach the employment of critical theory in analyzing video games. the point of contention in this article is which theory one must use. Video game theory focuses on mechanical and systemic operations. Literary theory focuses on meaning making experience; in other words the ideas communicated in a game. After all of that, think about this: what we are doing in MMC this semester will, some day, be looked back upon by new media students in new media departments as “foundational” study practices. Are We Truly Worlds Apart? Building Bridges Between Second Life and Secondary Education David Perry: Will videogames become better than life? Yes, this looks like a videogame site. No, the site is not the artifact. No, I would not consider Star Wars Galaxies a video game. It is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (yeah, I know, it says ‘game’ at the end even though I said I don’t consider it a game). of all the MMORPGs out there this has a number of unique features. At the top of the list, and the reason why I chose it is that it is a remediation of a body of work (3 movies, roughly 20 books, and 5 comic books/graphic novels) that is considered to be part of a specific canon, the Star Wars canon (yes, I know it sounds odd but there IS a Star Wars Canon). Thus, due to faithful remediation, it is considered to be of that canon itself.

| Thoughts about our class session |
After our last class I did some thinking about a few things I saw fly across the table during the very heated and wonderful consciousness expanding group exploration. Two topics stick to the top of my brain pan: The term “canon” and Second Life. Please, allow me to revisit them. I’ll be as succinct as I can... At the core of my being, the root of whom and what I am, is a raging fur spitting Antiestablishmentarianist. I oppose any from of doctrine or dogma. I question authority of any kind. I cannot submit comfortably to anything I perceive as telling me what and how I should think beyond social contract. Even social contract largely disturbs me... I am not PC nor can I be. I participate in standardization reluctantly and out of necessity. Complete freedom of thought is the single most valuable commodity available, a commodity very few people actually have in their possession. As far as our class goes for me and us in this; I will always oppose the concept. I will always deeply question any artifact we may suggest as being included in a canon. I may not voice this because it would be counter productive to the goals of our work but know it is their... brooding, disagreeing, seething, and contradicting. Comments: 0 |
Multimodality: meaning making and education |
Kress I have to say I believe that the idea of “all texts are multimodal” is perhaps too specifying. I would rather think of this as all texts being hypertextual. This situates texts as a consistent point of departure in that a reader can chose to exist within the text as they perceive it, alter their direct perception of the text (altering the meaning making process by examining personal perceptions and interaction with the text, or can use the text as a springboard into other derivations of the text by choice. Given the fact that every text consumed effects as it is affected it is imposable to actually determine every derivative idea or thought resulting or branching from the text at hand. This is, as I understand the term, the definition of hypertexuality, not necessarily multimodality. This is not to say, however, that hypertexuality and multimodality are not so closely intertwined that they must coexist at an active semiotic level. Schopenhauer tells us that will and idea are function and form. In looking at the concepts related in the Kress PDF I find it unavoidable to relate Kress and Schopenhauer. Schopenhauer deals very much with idea as a definer of reality, both shared and personal. Idea is the for our processing of data takes up, partly by will and partly by circumstance under which data is acquired. Will is a resulting and coexisting aspect from and if idea. At the end of the Kress article he relates the configuration of S–>M–>R stating that a message, an idea, a systemic communication form comes to rest in R. i must disagree with this idea. Several years ago Dr. Bruce Hawkins taught me a different tri-form G–>S–>E; Grounding–>Selection–>Experience. Grounding is the idea. Grounding represents the base from which we all operate. Each persons grounding, or ideas, are very different from another’s though they may have relative forms. Selection, or will, is the process by which a person selects particular ideas from grounding. This act of selection, though a manifestation of will, is largely circumstantial. Stimuli warrant particular selection from grounding but the person, or subject, does have the ability to modify selection as it occurs through choice, or will. Experience is the resulting causal effect of selection which, unlike S–>M–>R, does not come to rest. Experience then modifies grounding for the next selection act of situational will. In this semiosis is a combination of will, idea, and consumption (a form of experience). This perspective or model tells us that consumption of data, of information, of stimuli, of the many facets of our multimodal existence. Is more than simply recursive. It is nebulous and morphous with every synaptic discharge. It is of our very nature to “consider” or select therefore we are inherently NOT singular in our approch to input, in this case semiotic cueing through consumption of presented semantic or gramatical overarching suggestions. Question 30 My response to this is simply to not separate traditional composition (what ever that actually means) and multimodal composition. They are largely the same in the sense that our students need to be able to learn critical assessment of all forms of media with out categorized division. A two semester component course of general composition seems the most likely answer to this question. As a former high school teacher with experience in inner-city schools i must say that our governments, that is every level of governance in every country, REALLY need to stop screwing around and get their asses straightened out. every student NEEDS a computer to be “competitive” learners. The One Laptop program shows us exactly how possible this is! The digital divide is usually seen as an indication of privileged vs. impoverished. This needs to be reconfigured, conceptually, to being much like literate vs. illiterate because that is largely what it actually is. Search Tthis first link is to a teacher living in austraila with a particular interest in ESL. Though this interest does not seem comenserate with multimodality it really is. they have several posts on their blog about the use of technology in the classroom as well as responses to many articles regurding multimodality. In my mind multimodality and SL learning go very much hand-in-hand. Learning another language is a process of learning a new set of semantic cues and thusly modifying “originating” semiotic structres provided by and for the first language a subject has learned. The article links are valuable as are the perspectives of multimodality provided in personal posts. This blog is a good source or gateway to other ideas about multimodaility. http://rampantred.wordpress.com/ This link is to a NCTE (of which I am a former member) article that explores the importance and the shifting perception of multimodal composition in the practices of teaching composition. It also explores the extension of multimodal composition outside the classroom and school, in general. http://www.ncte.org/governance/MultimodalLiteracies With this link, I am cheating! I did not actually search for this one. This link is to Terra Nova, a community blog for scholars and professional who are researching, investigating, and implementing various forms of digital interaction as text and entertainment. Though it would seem it is not multimodal in nature on the surface it really is. these people often discuss the impact of varied interactive “texts” on a variety of cultures. Many of these experiential texts presented are not just games, they often are multi media compositions. They ask tough questions and provide equally tough answers. http://terranova.blogs.com/ send commants to: onyxangel13@hotmail.com Comments: 0 |
