- Supporting, recognising and making visible multimodal ways of knowing and communicating
Multimodal learning can be defined as the process of learning in which the learners can use different ways of communicating beyond reading, writing and speaking. Multimodality recognises that meaning making is not limited to only linguistic modes of communication and learning. Meaning is made in increasingly multimodal, digital and social ways. It is important to recognise the social and cultural uses in multimodality to understand and communicate meaning.
Modes of learning include insights into important aspects of cultures or groups of people and modes are therefore influenced by cultural and social structures and help create and interpret meaning.
Multimodal Learning and Play
NEW EDITION! Now with updated content and a more interactive learning experience.
The term 'Multimodal learning' captures learning and thinking beyond written text, words and conventional conversation.
By recognising multimodal ways of learning and communicating, we support children to develop their own identity instead of pushing our cultural identity and ways of learning and communicating onto the child.Viewing children’s learning in a multimodal way is an important skill necessary to support early childhood learning and thinking as very young children, as typically they do not yet have reading and writing skills, with many still learning to speak in a way that allows them to engage in communication and learning through more linguistic pathways.
In this New Edition of the course, we explore a range of multimodal ways children learn and communicate, with updated content and interactive opportunities to support reflection and connection to everyday practice.You’ll explore how educators can recognise, value and respond to children’s different ways of expressing themselves, while creating environments that support children to develop their own identities, ideas and ways of knowing.
*This New Edition includes updated content and a more interactive learning experience to help you connect theory with practice.
