"In Multimedia in the College Classroom, Heidi Skurat Harris and Michael Greer offer practical guidance for instructors interested in humanizing online and hybrid courses to support student learning. Rather than treating multimedia as a course supplement, this text positions it as essential to online instruction, arguing that its use must be grounded in an understanding of how students learn differently in digital environments. The text is organized as a modular, workshop-style resource: Its chapters are designed to be read in any order and are paired with exercises that invite instructors to experiment with multimedia in their own teaching contexts."

"Online writing instruction has moved from the edges of composition studies to a central and often primary space for literacy learning. Even with years of theory, best-practice lists, and position statements, instructors still ask a practical question: What does effective online writing pedagogy look like in real classrooms? Better Practices: Exploring the Teaching of Writing in Online and Hybrid Spaces (2024) takes on that question by sharing adaptable, context-aware approaches rather than one-size-fits-all solutions."
