See what’s been happening in our research into coding animations and multimodal literacies in our ‘WHAT’S NEW’ tab!

PROJECT

The project seeks to develop new teaching pedagogies for students to code animated narratives, integrating previously separated capabilities of multimodal authoring and computational thinking. The study involves primary and secondary schools in Sydney and Melbourne. A total of about eight schools and 300 students participate over the four years of the project.

CODING ANIMATED NARRATIVES

The Coding Animated Narratives (CAN) project prepares students for the emerging communication world where multimodal authoring, coding, and computational thinking will no longer be optional, but requisite in workplaces, education, and cultural life in a digital knowledge economy.

RESEARCH TEAM

Professor Len Unsworth leads this Australian Research Council (ARC) funded Discovery Project. Together with researchers from ILSTE at ACU, Macquarie University and the University of London, they will advance a robust theory and evidence base, teaching exemplars and curriculum progressions to inform the teaching of coding as core to school curricula.
