Mini-workshop

 12 May 2016

 10:40–12:10

 Computer Lab

In this presentation we will present how introducing a well-structured multi-literacy digital pedagogy - which involves areas of information literacy, visual literacy, print literacy, and critical literacy - significantly contributes to enriching student learning experience where students create and connect with a range of different texts: written, visual, aural, across a variety of sources. Within this framework, students can also learn to understand how specific tools construct performative knowledge. The presentation will showcase FlipSnack, Timemapper, StoryMap, as examples of the tools used by students in their course projects.
