      This is a great page. It is balanced in terms of design and also balanced in terms of information. Nice work, Emily.

    1. For example, if Case has all these amenities for the students, why is there still significant crime on campus? Where is all of Case Western's money towards these programs going? Is safety even a priority on campus? How did a student get shot right outside of his home?

      great use of rhetorical questions. Can you start to answer them as you move out of this page and into more specific discussions?

    1. ority Report, pg3).

      As a layout choice you may want to juxtapose these images with your discussion of them (instead of at the end). Again, think of these images in the same ways as you would think of written evidence.

    1. The cause of many of these problems, though, is ourselves. We have, through modern media, made the life of selling and using drugs look better than it really is.  Breaking Bad, Narcos, Savages and the Sicario series all made drugs look good.

      Fair point, but this needs proof.

    1. PICTURES

      These are great pictures. Can you do more with them and refer to them in your written sections. They can be more effective evidence than just a slideshow...

    1. Amber Karel

      Great interview skills--nice follow up questions.

      Can you break these interviews down more and treat them like actual text. That is, quote from them and refer to specific sections. These interviews alone could be the majority of your evidence.

    1. Introduction

      This should be your book cover and include the title of the entire book, not just this section.

      Overall, your book looks great! There are a few places where content needs to be developed, but design-wise this really well done. Keep up the good work.

    2. I LOVE this splash page. Nice graphic.

    1. why is there still significant crime on campus?

      How is this relevant? Is longevity the intention of a text> And isn't context always associated with textual meaning? even by proxy? This needs to be teased out some more.

      Remind us. Quote the section you will be discussing.

      excellent. Keep this is example in mind as you develop these points.

    5. g.

    6. Quote

      Include this on the previous page? Keep the quotation and the explication near each other.

    2. "Good design is a conversation, not a monologue."

      Great passage.

    1. hat makes one effective

      What are the general considerations? For users and makers?

    2. nce,

      (UX). Indicate its abbreviation throughout. You may want to do this at the beginning of each chapter. Reintroduce it (use it) in its full text name, then show the abbreviation. Just so you reader can follow your terms.

    3. When we use apps, what is really going on?

      Nice use of a rhetorical question.

    1. "black mirrors" in a device-oriented society. I think we should instead be more concerned with the "black boxes"

      This needs further explanation. Maybe even a page that unpacks these and compares them.

    2. Software is the interface of interest.

      Perhaps an example?

      technologically?

    4. Apps, on the other hand, help us to actually do with our computers

    2. using app

      excellent point.

    3. -Apple Girl

      I don't know is this attribute is necessary here. Especially since you are explicating the commercial around it. I do like the text block.

      In general, you may need more pronounced visuals throughout?

    2. The transitions from orality through secondary orality are important because they impact knowledge--how knowledge is acquired and passed down.

      excellent!

    3. ristics

      citation needed immediately after you use a source.

    4. throughout history

      cut this because it is very broad and unprovable.

    1. we can directly analyze the difference in modes

      why important? and how possible here? How do these relate? and how are they present in academia?

    2. Music, poetry and sign language

      These seem out of place for the academia discussion. What is your intention to include these? I think it's very interesting, but needs some more signposting.

    1. we can see

      in what way? State it again. Or at least its stake.

    2. This im

      This is a great visual. This examples illustrates both multimodality and secondary orality well!

    3. For example, in a video, there is visual stimuli presented, such as im

      Excellent!

    4. Introductio

      Perhaps introduce part of this page on your first introduction page? Lay the foundations of your scope/argument early.

    1. wo key components in academia.

      I think in your first page of this Introduction you need to outline and introduce YOUR scope of secondary orality. That is, the education/academia side of it. You explanation of terms is excellent, but your argument/scope is barely present.

    2. gle sense.

      Can you refer to this page before your link it? Or have a separate page that it links to?

    3. For example,

      nice inclusion.

    1. he second factor was the mechanical disadvantage of the printing presses from East Asia

      I still think you can gesture to why this was an issue. It seems fragmented to mention this here, but explain it later. Yes, you can explain it in more detail later, but your reader should know what you mean after reading this page (even if it is not the most in-depth analysis).

    2. These three factors will be discussed more in detail later in Chapters one and tw

      Can these be larger?

    3. texts. 

      Because of the large space at the bottom, can you place the mages on the bottom?

    4. What separates mankind from animals is our ability to learn at an exponential rat

      Mankind has the ability to learn at an exceptional rate. The animals reference is inaccurate and unnecessary.

    1. sorting algorithms

      Could you focus more on this in an individual page?

    2. digital files such as movies, audiobooks, and digitally restored books of old that would be too old handle if given the physical copy

      "so what?" And you could always check out CDs and VHS tapes at the library. It isn't just a digital thing. But the digital may relate to your interest with space.

    3. d is

      revise prose for clarity.

    4. ow much the library changed, its purpose of assisting in looking for information will always stay the same

      Use her words to help explain this (to help show this).

    5. previous quot

      Okay. Good. But keep the quote close to the explication. Why not just put this on the previous page? It's alright if it is a bit long; you can balance the pages out throughout.

    1. “The last 150

      No quotes for a block quote. Why italics? And, as I have said in ALL of your drafts, you need to explicate and explain these long passages. In Scalar you can have text boxes or highlighted quotes (in header areas even), but you still need to make them relevant by engaging with them. Fix this and all other instances.

    2. place that has changed since the concept of such a place came to fruition

      awkwardly stated. As you have it, libraries have changed because of libraries.

    3. Hav

      Nice use of rhetorical questions.

    1. argue that the introduction of technology in education and society has hindered our ability to learn and remember information due to the physical differences and over dependence of online sources

      Your introduction should be several pages (at least 5). Use this space to unfold your idea, explain its varied parts, and show how they connect.

    2. students

      How do you get here? How do you get to classrooms? You need to build up to this transition and explain how the IAge and education are linked.

    3. laptops

      This is what the Information Age looks like now. But laptops are a late invention in that Age.

    4. com

      Is there a year attached to this?

    5. gy.

      citation needed. In-text citations are needed for all texts that are used. And they need to be cited immediately after they are used.

    6. e Merriam-Webster

      You can define this from a more relevant source via our class (i,e. McLuhan).

    1. C

      Your paths need to be fixed and allow for more movement between chapters. I'm assuming you just don't have the chapters done yet.

    1. "fake news".  As the public strayed further away from print news and even TV and towards more untraditional

      As I said in your latter chapter, this concept needs to be discussed in further detail. Possibly even with digressive paths that show what this phenomenon is.

    1. No

      Can you include more real news sources in your visual examples? Even some of the actual sites that are being accused of and accusing others of fake news (i.e. Breitbart)?

    2. 3

      include author.

    3. roaming from site to site

      This is a very important point.

    1. This combination of mistrust and increasing usage is very telling about news consumers.

      Great transition and signposting moment.

    2. fake news

      I think you need to remind your reader what fake news is. Especially if you are going to discuss it at length here.

    1. Tr

      I think this section can have more content (at least more than a movie trailer). Is it worth showing these traditional sources? I'm thinking even of footage from the Kennedy/Nixon debates, which were the first to be televised (and showed the public's bias of Kennedy's good looks)? Is the issue with newspapers how they read? Or is there a page that can be devoted to newspapers and the printing press (industrial)?

    2. Whiskey Ta

      Make sure to italicize movie titles.

    3. relied almost entirely on newspapers and newscasts to  get their news

      And word of mouth, which has a similar impact as social media.

    1. Due to the sheer amount of Internet users, it became more and more difficult to trace the origins of these copyright violations. Copyright laws have drastically changed in the digital age in an attempt to combat such issues.

      How do these ideas in this paragraph relate to your claim? They are extremely factual. Consider what they are introducing.

    2. In other words

      excellent.

    3. . Digitalization changed th

      Explicate the quotation?

    4. DRM

      Could this image be on a header so you can read the captions better? Or at least be bigger on the page.

    2. Pr

      Perhaps some visual elements on this page.

      just plural: authors

    1. before 1923, works can come into the public domain after 75 years, for 1923 to 1977, after 95 years, and after 1978, after 70 years after the death of the author (Bishop 53).

      A little awkwardly stated. Revise. Especially because these are important details.

    2. refe

      These discussions are not only helpful and relevant, but well written. Nice work.

    3. Stan M

      You should annotate this video in several relevant places and use them throughout. Can you quote from the video in the written section, too?

    1. exists and how it has changed over the years

      to argue what? Don't leave these discussions for later. Introduce them now...in the Introduction.

    1. This

      What? Explain these figures THEN build from them. These numbers alone don't explain your point.

    2. conom

      italicize magazine titles.

    3. world of science

      This is a big jump. You need to build up to this statement.

    4. Many people even say that she was the one who invented the genre – yet today there seems to be a lack of women in it

      Why is this an issue?

    5. Frankenstein

      italicize book titles.

    6. his difference makes it seem as if one gender is taken to be smarter and more serious than the other

      How so? explain. This is a really great point, but is not readily apparent. It needs you to unpack it.

    7. e women.

      source? You must cite each instance immediately after the sentence.

    1. s. This highlights the gender disparity that is still present in our times.

      What does it say? And how does it relate to previous periods? Like Austen's or Eliot's...

    1. Female authors now are widely accepted and praised.

      Not necessarily. They are more mainstream, but there is more at stake with being a female author than distribution. Your paper gets at this, but you need to introduce it considerably earlier.

    2. have shown

      They may have shown this, but you have not. You should refer to specific texts and passages.

    3. Mill On The Floss

      She writes a lot more. Why is this a notable title?

    4. women a

      You can't say that she writes about what it feels to be a woman then also identify a topic as women. It is redundant. Be specific--what does she write about? What is your connection to these works? Why is she notable in this topic besides being a female author?

    5. re. It

      They

    6. ir works

      You need in-text citations for this information. This is a real issue throughout your book.

    1. now

      You've mentioned nothing about science-fiction here. Since this is a large part of your work, you may want to introduce it fairly early on.

    2. chnology, education and social media

      How do these fit together? Again, take the time to explain these connections and your rationale for their inclusion.

    3. Women do not need to hide behind a fake name to hide their gender

      Unfortunately this is not wholly true. Many women in other countries have to use pseudonyms to publish because they are women. You should check out Twitter poets in Tehran.

    4. this

      what? Name it.

    5. us

      Can you elaborate on these examples> You may also be able to make individual pages for these examples and further develop this idea, just in a different place.

    6. stereotype of a femal

      What was the stereotype? You are building on information that you have not explained. In this book (as opposed to a traditional essay) you have the space to unpack all of these specifics. Use this space more effectively.

    7. Now

      What was then? You need to discuss what x has changed from in order to set up a sound parallel.

    8. ave

      has changed. Watch your subject-verb agreement throughout.

    9. ell. L

      Why is this all a hyperlink?

    1. I argu

      Much like in a traditional essay, you need to build up to this point.

      Also, can you include some visual element here? What would your claim look like in a different mode?

    2. es.
