Abstract

In this chapter it is assumed that students have only limited interest in reading and writing academic texts. After a brief introduction to the problem, the impact of academic reading and writing skills is shown. Furthermore, the authors want to emphasize how these literacies can support students’ development, pedagogically speaking, by using action-based projects. The University of Augsburg provides examples for publishing projects in which students can participate. The examples demonstrate the positive effects of students’ participation in such projects on the development of media literacies, especially in the areas of text comprehension and writing. Finally, prospects for student-publishing projects at universities are identified as well as the challenges associated with cross-media development, social software and Web 2.0 (Mayrberger, 2012).
