Calendar of EventsUpcoming EventsMULTILITERACIES: Modes, Media, Cultures This symposium will explore the ramifications of the multiliterate transformation. How can we best use various modes of literacy — written, spoken, visual — in the classroom? How can composing in multiple media enhance learning? What challenges and opportunities do students encounter as they communicate in a variety of cultural contexts, on and off campus? (PDF Flyer) Thursday, November 12 The Centre Cannot Hold: Living, Learning, and Leading in a Networked Age" This lecture will explore how new media technologies have redefined literacy in the 21st century and what the implications of this paradigm shift are for higher education.

Is teaching still necessary? 4:00 p.m. Renaissance Room South Friday, November 13 Getting Beyond the Personal: Research and the Visual Essay. In this workshop, we will consider practical ways to get students to reflect on what it means to do research when Google is always ready to hand.

The meetings will take place on the University of Denver campus. Housing has been arranged at the Courtyard Marriott on the 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver. Travel between the Marriott and campus is extremely easy (and cheap) via light rail, and we will have complete information about this no later than July 1, 2009. We will also have complete and detailed information about getting from the airport to the hotel. Participants should plan to arrive on the afternoon of July 19, as there may be an informal welcoming event that evening. However, the formal meetings will begin early the morning of July 20. Participants can likely schedule return flights after 8:00 p.m. on July 21. (Perhaps this will be earlier; but your University of Denver hosts don't yet have a schedule from the INCEPR leaders.
