EDUC 251: Multimodality and Literacy
The course will revolve around the pedagogical implications of recognizing literacy as multimodal, examining the following questions: What is reading, what is writing, and what else might literacy mean beyond reading/writing if we conceptualize literacy as something beyond (but encompassing) written words on the page? How might differing modes of representation matter in the construction of meaning? If literacy is multimodal, and the modes that children and adults continue to evolve, how might/should/must literacy education change, if at all?
