- Laurillard, D. (1993). Rethinking university teaching: A framework for the effective use of educational technology. London: Routledge.
- Laurillard discussses "teaching as mediating learning" and presents strategies for using technology in light of this conception. She classifies media into four categories: discursive, adaptive, interactive, and reflective. Also introduces the "conversational framework" for the learning process. Somewhat dated at times but still useful. [CFC]
- Roen, D., Pantoja, V., Yena, L., Miller, S. K., & Waggoner, E. (Eds.). (2002). Strategies for teaching first-year composition. Urbana, IL: NCTE.
- The entire collection is useful as a general reference; however, section eleven, "Teaching Writing with Technology" (pp. 437-482) is particularly useful for our purposes. Among the topics addressed are: overcoming technological inexperience or apathy, asynchronous online teaching (distance education), peer review and email, web-based critical literacy, the electronic classroom, and teaching ESL in an electronic classroom. There is an additional section, "Teaching Research Skills" (pp. 569-612), that might also be useful. This book is available from the FYWP office; but Chad and I have additional copies. (CBB).

- Some of these are dated, but a number are still quite useful pedagogically. There are several examples in this collection (Otte, Latchaw, Toner, Lang, and Johnson) of dated techniques that can easily be adapted to more contemporary applications. The sectional divisions are useful for quick browsing. (CBB).
