Literacies and Interactive Media : A Framework for Multimodal Analysis, Hardcover by Aguilera, Earl, ISBN 0367820692, ISBN-13 9780367820695, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US"This text responds to changing literacy practices in the age by developing an interdisciplinary framework for analysis of content created by students. Drawing on scholarship that expands traditional understandings of literacy to account for new ways in which students engage with interactive text and media, Aguilera develops a methodological toolkit for formal analysis of multimodal representations. This book frames the central challenges faced by researchers entering the field of literacy studies, presents a nuanced discussion of mediation, and brings these topics to life in the case study of a Code Club, a library-based computer programming club for elementary, middle, and high school students. The three-dimensional framework, which offers a schema for analysis of multimodal content, computational procedures, and contextual factors involved in the creation and interpretation of content, serves as a much-needed framework for the critical analysis of multimodal composition. This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators in the areas of language and literacy, multimodality, and technology and innovation in education"--
