The Multiliteracies Classroom

The Multiliteracies Classroom gives an accessible account of the challenges and rewards of engaging students in literacy learning through multimedia design. It paints a vivid picture of what multiliteracies can look like in a culturally diverse classroom. The first research of its kind, it applies key themes of critical sociology to multiliteracies, inspiring educators to envisage the changing shape of literacy research.
