Multiliteracies for Learners in a Digital World
Interview by Tom Hanlon.
In two recently-released books, two College of Education professors help educators navigate a world of multiliteracies to help learners use various forms of meaning-making in their lives. Read the interview at this link.
I am grateful to learn from you. Thank you Professors Cope and kalantzis. You help me to understand the world of education and its different areas, which are multiliteracies. integrating digital is another innovation, and it's essential for developing knowledge in the future education.
Thank you Professors Cope and Kalantzis. Centering meaning, sense-making and integration of students' Discourses into digital interactions is essential for developing future knowledge producers.
There is a concern in South Africa over instructional designers who deliberately marginalise digital opportunities for students to generate meaning via their Discourses through the development of passive, basic skills/autonomous programmes that divorce literacies from disciplinary contexts.
These strategies often exclude rather than include students' cultural identities in learning experiences. Your theories assist us in advocating alternative approaches to digital pedagogies that value human agency.
Thank you for your kind words Oscar, together with people like you, we hope we can make a difference in the world.
