Multimodal Pedagogy Workshop
From podcast to video, explore ways to prepare students for 21st century communications and audiences.
Do you want to help your students prepare for 21st century professions, practice real-world genres like podcasts and documentary videos, and develop flexible rhetorical skills? Join the TU Writing Center for a practical, hands-on discussion about multimodal pedagogy. “Multimodal” refers to the ways in which contemporary texts fuse and blend the modes of alphabetic writing, video, image, and sound to create rhetorical appeal. In a workshop for beginners, we’ll provide an overview of multiliteracy theory, introduce faculty to the basics of multimodal pedagogy, and share sample assignments, assessment techniques, and teaching resources. Lunch will be provided.
When: Tuesday, January 17, from 12:30-2:00pm
Where: TBA
Register for the workshop here.
If we do not get at least 10 people signed up to attend in January, we will reschedule the workshop for early in the spring term. Please contact Mairin Barney at ebarney@towson.edu with questions.
