At our final D-WRD meeting for 2011-12, we collaborated on a Photo Essay assignment and scoring guide; over the summer, we will complete the assignment, putting ourselves in students’ shoes, and present our photo essays to each other at our first Autumn 2012 meeting. It’s a good opportunity to explore both multimodality in a low-tech way, and the integration of text + image.

A survey currently circulating in the department will help to prioritize other digital and pedagogical initiatives for next year — stay tuned!
