Each year, Computers and Composition, “a professional journal devoted to exploring the use of computers in composition classes, programs, and scholarly projects,” awards the Computers and Composition Michelle Kendrick Outstanding Digital Production/Scholarship Award. The award, dedicated to Michelle Kendrick who passed away in 2006, recognizes
“the creation of outstanding digital productions, digital environments, and/or digital media scholarship. It acknowledges that any single mode of communication, including the alphabetic, can represent only a portion of meaning that authors/designers might want to convey to audiences. As does our field, this award recognizes the intellectual and creative effort that goes into such work and celebrates the scholarly potential of digital media texts and environments that may include visuals, video animation, and/or sound, as well as printed words.” (Computers and Composition website)
We are happy to celebrate that our very own Computers and Composition Digital Press was awarded this award at the Computers and Writing Conference held at George Mason University this past May.
