The first, the multiliteracy movement, is rooted in “A Pedagogy of Multiliteracies: Designing Social Futures”(1996) . The New London Group argued for a reorientation to literacy in all modes of communication, whereas earlier conceptions of literacy focused mostly on reading and writing. The authors further emphasized the need for students to be empowered to understand, criticize, and challenge multimodal messages delivered by sophisticated and powerful agents of fast capitalism. Ben Agger coined the phrase “fast capitalism” in 1989 and updated the concept in his 2004 book, Speeding Up Fast Capitalism:  \nCultures, Jobs, Families, Schools, Bodies. In this later text, Agger argues that fast capitalism indicates a “faster society of information, communication, surveillance, and stimulation”(2004, p. 4-5) . Such a world delivers information so quickly and through so many channels and mediums that people’s ability to understand and respond critically is severely challenged. Such challenges, coupled with arrival of Web 2.0 applications that allow ordinary users to generate their own content without coding or programing knowledge, further emphasized the stakes of multimodal, multimedia literacy and spurred the advancement of multimedia literacy initiatives in education. Calls for multimodal communication, information, and technology literacy have come from the National Council of Teachers  \nGabriella Pishotti Miami University  \nof English (Comprehensive Literacy, 2013), the National Communication Association (High School Communication Education, 2012) and the Association of American Colleges and Universities (Ehrmann, 2004) . In response, several institutions including Rice University, California State University Chanel Islands, and Eastern Kentucky University have designed multiliteracy centers that are capable of assisting students with the linguistic, textual, visual, oral, aural, audio, spatial, and gestural modes of communication.  \nThe second movement, studio pedagogy, is a natural match for this new perspective on communication. Studio pedagogy “...provides opportunities for students to take the lead in designing effective products through a collaborative, inspirational, and supportive environment and program”(Carpenter, 2013, p. 314) . As directors of writing or speaking centers know from experience, many clients use their services to polish a final draft or work on delivery. Studio spaces are purposefully designed to be workspaces that emphasize the invention and arrangement phases of designing communication, as well as final polishing. The multiliteracy studio model shifts the focus from product to processbased pedagogy with intentionally designed spaces that encourage creativity, collaboration, and exploration. In studios, consultants are figured as “co-inventors”(Lee, Alfano, & Carpenter 2013, p. 55) offering guidance and feedback to students throughout their projects rather than as“experts” giving advice. This case study,  \nresearched and co-written by a multiliteracy studio director, Danielle Cordaro and a former undergraduate consultant, Gabriella Pishotti, describes the research and development of one such center on the campus of a small, private Midwestern university, the University of Mount Union. It includes a description of our needs assessment research: specifically, we wanted to know what our stakeholders and constituents thought about working in a studio environment and how they might use the studio’s proposed spaces, including an open collaborative zone; enclosed rooms to practice public speaking and receive feedback on writing; and a multimedia production lab. We found that while our faculty and administrator stakeholders understood ","cbCaigoSty1b00E5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigoSty1b00E5","pdf",128776,13,"English","# Preparing for the Change\n## The Development of a Multiliteracy Communication Studio\n## Institutional Context","[{\"question\":\"What is the central idea of a multiliteracy communication studio?\",\"answer\":\"It combines multiliteracy and studio pedagogy to support learning through purposefully designed spaces and collaborative processes for multimodal communication.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the model emphasize critical understanding of multimodal messages?\",\"answer\":\"The text argues that fast capitalism and the rapid flow of information through many channels challenge people’s ability to understand and respond critically.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the needs assessment at the University of Mount Union reveal about the multimedia production lab?\",\"answer\":\"Faculty and administrators supported the proposed design, while students expressed doubts specifically about introducing a multimedia production lab, leading to a considered decision to include it.\"}]","Preparing for the Change - The Development of a Multiliteracy Communication Studio | PDF",1792088460,33]
