The evaluations provided of these cases—by deans, department chairs, and personnel committee chairs—do not represent an official assessment of the CCCC and are not meant to be substituted for the advice of the dean, department chair, and personnel committee chair on a candidate's own campus. 

We suggest the following advice for readers of this site: 

•   Departments of English should make specific 
     reference to work with digital media in their 
     tenure and promotion guidelines. 

•   Untenured faculty—and candidates seeking
     jobs—should access and study departmental 
     and university requirements for tenure and 
     promotion. 

•   Chairs should meet informally with untenured
     faculty to keep abreast of their work with
     technology and meet on a more formal basis, 
     annually, to assess progress toward tenure
     and promotion and clarify departmental
     expectations. 

•   Untenured faculty members should schedule 
     regular meetings with the department chair
     and/or the chair of the departmental personnel
     committee to help these individuals
     understand their work with technology
     and its general import within the 
     context of the field. 

•   Department chairs, chairs of personnel 
     committees, and untenured faculty should be 
     aware of relevant professional guidelines for
     faculty who work with technology:
