Description
Book SynopsisStudio-Based Approaches for Multimodal Projects examines a cross-section of strategies for studio approaches and models that enable process-oriented multimodal projects and promote student learning. This collection features seven chapters authored or coauthored by leaders and innovators in studio-based approaches. These scholars explore studio models and provide vivid examples of ways in which they are realized as students pursue, design, and create multimodal projects, including ePortfolios, research posters, websites, and other engaging artifacts that integrate oral, written, visual, and electronic communication. Studio-based approaches enhance creativity, interaction, and learning among students. The models designed and employed to support these activities would benefit from a more focused look. This collection assembles perspectives from scholar-practitioners who know and use studio-based models. They are experts in this area and have helped to shape current understandings of appro
Trade ReviewThis book is primarily for scholars of writing, communication, and multimodality interested in designing or enhancing their learning environments to incorporate approaches for all learners. As editor, Rusty Carpenter once again significantly shapes our understanding of studio pedagogy. In assembling an amazingly varied group of contributing authors, who are practitioners themselves, Carpenter invites readers to envision studio pedagogy working at their institutions. The vastly different perspectives to studio pedagogy presented stir excitement and provide hope for students, facilitators, peer educators, administrators, and faculty seeking better multimodal learning-by-doing experiences. Anyone involved in actively engaging student-composers as they seek to develop savvy multimodal artifacts will treasure this book. -- Kimberly M. Cuny, University of North Carolina at Greensboro
