Hart-Davidson is an expert in using new technologies to communicate, and how that fits into the future of teaching and learning.
His public presentation and faculty workshop are the final events of the semester-long professional development for instructional faculty, ‘Composing the New Classroom: Teaching & Learning Remix.’”
Multimodal practices have become somewhat of a national trend at universities.
Multimodal refers to the use of effective tools to communicate that create visual, verbal, and auditory stimuli to boost learning, comprehension, and knowledge retention.
