43.053 - Materiality Meets Multimodality: The Forgotten Role of Material Objects in Digital Literacies

Sun, April 7, 8:00 to 9:30am, Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, Floor: Mezzanine, Pine West

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The objective of this symposium is to look deeply into the material aspects of modal transduction and transformation that shape digital literacies practices. Specifically, we focus on the impact of material objects in different digital and arts-based literacy environments. Each paper investigates who and what is prioritized/ing engagement with digital devices or engagement with/in different modes. Papers focus on various contexts in and out of school, and are from multiple geographical perspectives: Australia, Canada, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the US. The papers fill a much-needed gap in the burgeoning field of digital and non-digital literacies by focusing on how the materiality of digital devices influences production, consumption, and social interactions in various contexts.
