Description

ART + LANGUAGE = MULTIMODALITY

The Art, Research, and Teaching (ART) Forum will present multimodal strategies and techniques for engaging students who were born digital. These digital natives expect written and spoken text to be accompanied by visual art (photos, videos, pictures, illustrations), so a multimodal learning environment is essential. Discussions and presentations will explore theory and best practices for multimodal communication in the classroom and in teaching materials.

Summary

ART + LANGUAGE = MULTIMODALITY

Contemporary students are digital natives, fluent in multimodal communication, so a multimodal environment is essential for active learning.
