All in all, the book, edited by van Waes, Leijten, and Neuwirth, demonstrates a well-designed interplay between scholarship, research, and teaching in two areasWriting and Digital Media. Both seem key to a successful participation of its audience and immediate benefactors in the Information Society. For their pioneering work in bridging the gap between new fields of scholarship and traditional academic disciplines and for their courage in widening the scope of academic research toward its application in education, the editors and authors of Writing and Digital Media recently received the "Computers and Composition Distinguished Book Award of 2007" presented by Michigan Technological University. Congratulations! -- Zeitschrift Schrieben

Digital media has become an increasingly powerful force in modern society. This volume brings together outstanding European, American and Australian research in "writing and digital media" and explores its cognitive, social and cultural implications. The book is divided into five sections, covering major areas of research: writing modes and writing environments (e.g. speech technology), writing and communication (e.g. hypervideos), digital tools for writing research (e.g. web analysis tools, keystroke logging and eye-tracking), writing in online educational environments (e.g. collaborative writing in L2), and social and philosophical aspects of writing and digital media (e.g. CMC, electronic literacy and the global digital divide).In addition to presenting programs of original research by internationally known scholars from a variety of disciplines, each chapter provides a comprehensive review of the current state-of-the-art in the field and suggests directions for future research.
