In this course we will explore the ways that writing shifts and changes over time, influenced by new tools and technologies as well as its purpose, audience and context. We will dive deep into what it means to write today, using digital tools and technologies as well as explore multimodal composition inspired by many mentor texts that we find in the world around us. We will explore the ways that digital writing and multimodal composing can support teaching that is culturally responsive and relevant for a diversity of learners. And we will write and compose together while curating compositions that inspire us and push our writing forward. Whether you are teaching digitally or hybrid, writing in formal school environments or running a community workshop, this course will be designed to support you in considering the ways you might support digital writing and multimodal composition. All participants will be expected to compose and share their compositions, provide peer feedback as co-learners and co-teachers throughout, to engage in social forums to explore what’s possible in writing and teaching today, and to design a project they can take forward beyond this course.
