A critical skill for students and faculty is to communicate effectively in a 21st century world. Understanding how to read and compose in a multimodal environment is one way to hone these communication skills. In this collaborative program, faculty will learn more about multimodal environments, experience multimodal reading and composing, and develop a multimodal composition assignment. 

Objectives

- Develop a mindful awareness of the experience of reading multimodal texts.
- Understand, recognize and apply design elements of multimodal composition.
- Understand, recognize and evaluate the relationship between modes, message & meaning.
- Create a multimodal composition assignment that models the principles of multimodal composition.
