 Multimodal Composing

Background & Pedagogical Contexts: 

Multimodal composing: the purposeful and rhetorical integration of different meaning-making modes—alphabetic text & typographic treatments, audio, video, gesture, color, animation, photographs, drawings—in order to achieve an intentional, rhetorical effect. 

 Digital Writing Portfolios

Background & Pedagogical Contexts: 

  • Metacognition, meta-awareness, and reflection
  • The role of the portfolio
  • How and when to introduce, to support, to collect, to read, and to assess portfolios
  • Examples
  • Resources
