This collection critically considers the question of how learning and teaching should be conceived, understood, and approached in light of the changing nature of learning scenarios and new pedagogies in this current age of multimodal digital texts, practices, and communities.

The book takes the concept of digital artifacts as being composed of multiple meaning-making semiotic resources, such as visuals, music, and design, as its point of departure to explore how diverse communities interact with these tools and develop and explore their understanding of digital practices in learning contexts. The first section of the volume examines different case studies in which involved participants learn to grapple with the introduction of digital tools for learning in children's early years of schooling. The second section extends the focus to secondary and higher education settings as digital learning tools grow more complex as do students, parents, and teachers' interactions with them and the subsequent need for new pedagogies to rethink these multimodal artifacts. A final section reflects on the implications of new multimodal tools, technologies, and pedagogies for teachers, such as on teacher training and community building among educators.

In its in-depth look at multimodal approaches to learning as meaning-making in a digital world, this book will be of interest to students and scholars in multimodality, English language teaching, digital communication, and education.

Industry Reviews

"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
