D-WRD Friday workshops in 2011-12 will focus on pairing a reading in teaching with technology — scholarship, criticism, or a case study — with hands-on software practice.
For example, we might read Cynthia Selfe’s “The Movement of Air, the Breath of Meaning: Aurality and Multimodal Composing” paired with a workshop on Audacity, a free, cross-platform sound editor.
We can read excerpts from Lessig’s Remix and Ridolfo and DeVoss — “Composing for Recomposition” — followed by introductory tutorials in iMovie and Windows Movie Maker.
We can read Gunther Kress’s “Reading Images: Multimodality, Representation and New Media,” followed by our own explorations and practice with Photoshop.
Have other ideas or requests?
E-mail Michael.
