Multiple
Literacies
This one-day
workshop offers an in-depth exploration of multiple literacies required for
success in the 21st century. At one time “literacy” was
considered to be the ability to read and write, and perhaps do math.
According to
Douglas Kellner, Ph.D. at UCLA “literacy involves gaining the skills and
knowledge to read and interpret the text of the world and to successfully
navigate its challenges, conflicts and crises. Literacy is a necessary
condition to equip people to participate in the local, national and global
economy, culture and polity.”
