Stolley Receives Digital Production/Scholarship Award

Karl Stolley, assistant professor of technical communication and co-director of the Usability Testing and Evaluation Center (UTEC), received the Computers and Composition Michelle Kendrick Outstanding Digital Production/Scholarship Award in June at the Computers & Writing Conference.

The Computers and Composition Michelle Kendrick Outstanding Digital Production/Scholarship Award was inaugurated in 2006 to recognize 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.

The award is dedicated to Michelle Kendrick, who passed away in 2006. Her outstanding scholarship continues to make its mark on the field.
