520 |a With original research from Malawi, Mauritius, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, this book provides in-depth scientific scholarship focused on the dynamic multimodal learning environments in the region. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has largely had to adjust to remote learning. Hence, the editors and contributors pull together important research on digital pedagogies and assessment to demonstrate how technology can be effectively employed for multimodal learning environments within the Southern African context. This book will be of interest and value to scholars of digital education, multimodal learning and education within Southern Africa and beyond. Jako Olivier is Professor in Multimodal Learning and current UNESCO Chair on Multimodal Learning and Open Educational Resources at the North-West University, South Africa. He holds a PhD in Education.

520 |a “This book explores the use and adaptation of digital technologies for multimodal learning and teaching, from chatbots to digital storytelling and beyond. Questions of curriculum, assessment, learning and pedagogy are explored, with attention to the modal preferences of learners, multimodal interactional practices and instructional environments, resources and technologies. Collectively the chapters highlight the relevance and significance of the dynamic digital sphere of multimodal learning environments, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, within Southern Africa.” — Carey Jewitt, Institute of Education (IOE), Faculty of Education and Society, University College London, UK This book offers an important overview of technology-enhanced education in Southern Africa.
