| Year 2: Summary | In Year 2 we plan to broaden our resources to include pedagogical specialties and learning that happen in experiential learning projects. In an effort to develop considered high quality material that showcases and translate learning of unique partnership projects between students and community partners. This will further our disciplinary scope to information and archival studies with a focus on digital ephemera that will lend insight to departments in the Faculty of Arts. This will broaden our curriculum resources to include more complex learning experiences and diverse project outcomes as found in experiential learning projects, a core priority in UBC’s 2018 strategic plan. In Year 2 we also plan to further evolve and refine the resources and implementation and further assessment and evaluation of the multimodal project format in a third iteration of FMST 314. |

| Year 3: Summary | In today’s digital information society, ways of knowing are pervasively carried out through new media formats; video, audio, animation, images, etc. The New London Group (1996) first introduced the term “multiliteracies” and promoted the idea that “all meaning-making is multimodal.” Influenced by recent work from NLG members Cope and Kalantzis (pedagogy of multiliteracies) and Kress (multimodal approaches to learning) (2015), this project aims to facilitate ways to adapt pedagogy to address multimodal literacies and emerging digital media formats. This project meets TLEF criteria of enhancing teaching and learning by 1) creating unique curriculum resources to strengthen students’ communication skills, 2) assisting faculty in developing assessment methods, and 3) integrating open source software and open educational resources (OER). |
