\n\t\tES2660 – Communicating in the Information Age\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tDescription\n\t<\/h4>\n

In a context of prolific production and convenient access to content and innovation in the Information Age, how should one critically process and clearly communicate ideas to various audiences? Using established critical thinking and digital literacy frameworks, this course aims to help learners hone their abilities to (1) critically question, analyse, and evaluate issues related to their own discipline and profession from multiple perspectives; and (2) articulate critical analysis and evaluation in multimodal forms of communication.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tObjectives\n\t<\/h4>\n\t

By the end of the course, students will be able to demonstrate the following in both writing and speaking:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \nRecognise the defining features of digital texts that constitute the current complex information landscape and ways to leverage them.\n<\/li>\n
  2. \nUse critical thinking principles and processes to make sense of arguments presented in multimodal formats.\n<\/li>\n
  3. \nDevelop own response to any issue in question with breadth, depth, and nuance.\n<\/li>\n
  4. \nConstruct contextualized, audience-centric, and genre-appropriate multimodal texts to participate effectively in the Information Age.\n<\/li>\n
  5. \nExhibit dispositions of critical thinking as a habit of mind in their communication in multimodal formats.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
