Professionalizing Multimodal composition

This edited collection brings together some of the implementation perspectives and practices of multimodal composition in various contexts and programs by discussing writing faculty preparedness in undertaking multimodal/digital composition at different levels of higher education. With a primary focus on professionalizing multimodal composition, this collection explores the individual faculty and programmatic as well as institutional initiatives to human resource development to embrace and enact multimodal composition in various writing courses and programs. Additionally, this edited collection responds to the increasing interest in multimodal curricular and programmatic transformation in terms of continuing professional development opportunities for faculty, and institutional and faculty initiatives to integrate multimodality into the curriculum within and across the disciplines. This collection is highly contingent given the change in digital media and technology landscapes in the last few years.

Book_Multimodal Composition_2021

 

This book presents an array of chapters that underscore the role of institutional faculty development programs and individual faculty initiatives in making the multimodal curricula and pedagogies global within and across programs and disciplines in diverse educational contexts. Through concrete discussion of numerous effective faculty development programs and some unique initiatives of individual faculty members across institutions to develop and implement multimodal courses, programs, and pedagogies on a wider scale, this collection takes the conversations about designing and implementing multimodal curricula, programs, and pedagogies to the next level. As such, the primary objective of this book is to further faculty and administrators’ ability to transform multimodal curricula and pedagogies by bringing together institutional faculty development programs and individual faculty initiatives within and across the disciplines.
