Review Quotes:
"During the early period of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the adoption of digital technologies in mainstream education was a response to a crisis - an emergent response, unplanned and less than ideal. In 2022, as we move into a more stable phase, many are recognizing this as a moment to 'reimagine education'.With fourteen chapters and a solid introduction that investigate learning and teaching in the digital context, Multimodal Literacies Across Digital Learning Contexts has arrived in good time to contribute to the reimagining conversation." - Cheng-Wen Huang, Senior Lecturer, University of Cape Town Centre for Higher Education Development, South Africa, Multimodality & Society
"Ranging from educational apps for preschool children to online university lectures and from critical software analyses to detailed curriculum and assessment proposals, this up to date and comprehensive collection will be an unmissable source of information and insight for anyone interested in the ever greater role of digital media and multimodal communication in education and learning generally." - Theo van Leeuwen, Professor of Language and Communication at the University of Southern Denmark and Honorary Professor at the University of New South Wales, Australia
