15:252:522 Digital Literacies (3) Over the past century, there has been a broad move from the dominance of writing and the written word to a gradual dominance of the image. That is, from a dominance of the book as our primary meaning-making technology to a dominance of images on screen that are colorful, that have animation, texture, and dimensionality as governing technologies. The combined influence of the image and computer screens has shifted the way our students make meaning. Where formerly they certainly made meaning from images, there was much more emphasis in school and out of school on the written word, whereas today meaning-making is more complex with more mediums, materials, and modalities from which to make meaning. The two modes of writing and of image are governed by different logics and have their own sets of affordances they bring to the meaning-making process. This course takes account of different modes from which students make meaning and has students use, understand, and reflect upon these modes in theoretical, pedagogical, and practical ways.
15:252:525 Writing Project Workshop: Bringing Research and Theory into Practice (1-6) Current research and theory in composition. Students write, critically examine their experiences as writers, and discuss research and theory as means to become more reflective practitioners.
