Multimodal Writing

This course provides students with foundational skills in understanding, analyzing, and critiquing multimodal texts. Specifically, students will analyze how multimodal components add meaning to written text, learn how to critique the effectiveness of multimodal texts, and apply what they learn in the production of their own multimodal texts. Students will also be introduced to ethical issues inherent in multimodal composition, such as questions of fair use, licensing, and copyright.
