Recenzje

"Multimodal composing in classrooms: learning and teaching for the digital world provides hope, encouragement and honest reflection, supporting other educators to embodymultimodal design pedagogies and to embrace the learning of ‘new literacies’ in ‘new times’. In addition to this, the text has the very real potential to transform readers’ pedagogical practices in relation to multimodal composing and multiliteracies as a result of engaging with the research stories of its participants."—Kylie Meyer, Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education
