==== '''Remediation''' ==== | |||
Remediation is the process through which new media forms borrow elements from older media forms and transforms and re-contextualizes them. As media evolves, so do the ways users can consume it. When first introduced, remediation was described as a type of reformation such as taking a paper letter and turning it into an email. Today, remediation of a digital document often adds into user-experience by enhancing the document. Remediation can look like making a document more accessible by adding a text-to-speech feature for users with poor vision, or adding a tutorial to an electronic manual. | |||
