Multiliteracy Centers: Writing Center Work, New Media, and Multimodal Rhetoric (New Dimensions in Computers and Composition)

Over the last decade, colleges and universitits have begun to pay significant attention to "multimodal rhetoric" - rhetoric that uses not just words, but a wide range of compositional elements, including still images, moving images, charts, graphs, illustrations, annimations, layout schemes, colors, music, ambient noise and other media components. This book explores how multimodal rhetoric may prompt foundational changes in writing centers, which have proven themselves, over the last several decades, to be a highly effective means of providing peer-based support for writers.
