Multimodality: Communication Skills for Today's Generation

Multimodality: Communication Skills for Today's Generation | Learning & Technology News | Scoop.it

Traditionally, we have thought of literacy as the ability to communicate through reading, writing, listening, and speaking. But in our digital age, we are as likely to use video, images audio and even gestures as modes of communication. The ability to understand and share information through a combination of these modes is known as multimodal literacy.

This is a really interesting article that goes into the area that I’m trying to address with my next book ‘The Manual of AI-Mediated Autonomous Teacher Development’ - Basically if AI is going to create a revolution in learning then it needs to help develop cognitive and and metacognitive processes - not negate them.
