FYC is already an overcrowded course at most universities; moreover, in FYC there are a series of relevant outcomes that have to do with writing that are very important. I don't think anyone wants to forget about writing completely. One way I see video, music and other modes fitting into FYC is to use these new modes to help students understand important aspect of the writing process. An article I read by Mickey Hess argues that teaching students the way hip-hop artists go about sampling to create new music helps them think about academic citation. I like it! If you're interested, the article is titled: "Was Foucault A Plagarist? Hip-Hop Sampling and Academic Citation." The issue of where to put this stuff in FYC is really interesting.
