Education Policy, Organization & Leadership Professors Bill Cope and Mary Kalantzis are co-authors on a new book on literacy and modern technology.
Literacies in the Age of AI: Teaching and Learning in the Digital Era will be published by Wiley on February 17.
From the publisher: "Literacies: Learning and Teaching in the Age of Digital Media and Artificial Intelligence" responds to a critical need in contemporary education by redefining literacy in light of digital transformation and the rise of generative AI. Moving beyond traditional definitions of reading and writing, this innovative volume situates literacy as a complex, multimodal practice involving text, image, sound, space, and gesture. Through a compelling historical and theoretical account of literacy's evolution―spanning from oral traditions and early writing systems to today’s AI-integrated learning environments―the text equips readers to navigate a shifting communicative landscape shaped by emerging technologies."
The book is co-authored with Gabriela C. Zapata, associate professor of Education at the University of Nottingham.
