This site will help instructors and students create compelling media assignments to communicate information related to course content.

 

Including multimodal assignments in your course design can:

  • Expand communication skills by having students deliver course related theory and research to different audiences.
  • Enhance digital literacy skills and help students become skilled producers for digital domains.
  • Promote visualization of knowledge which activates students’ affective dimensions of learning and expression, leading to a different relationship with course material.
  • Give students a chance to gain technical skills making media, and experience working with copyright and citation formats.
  • Practice using their voice in the public domain, and have students find ways to share and reflect through expanded media forms.
  • Showcase student learning in visual formats for online posting and distribution.


This resource was created with support from UBC’s TLEF fund for the project “Beyond the text: Promoting digital and visual literacy through multimodal projects” led by Christine D’Onofrio, Heidi May and Silvia Bartolic.
