Technologies can make teaching and learning effective, however critical judgement about educational possibilities need to be considered. Ljungdahl explains the benefits of multiliteracy projects versus the traditional literacy learning (Table 21.1 pp 403) and how multiliteracy projects can provide inquiry learning. The chapter also discusses Cope and Kalantzis four dimensions of new kinds of learning (Agency, Divergence, Multimodality and conceptualisation) (pp. 405-406) that can take place using multiliteracies and technology within the classroom. This highlights attention to the value of technology and multiliteracies and the impact it has on learners cognitive, problem-solving skills and successful learning strategies which enable students to engage with tasks and seek and apply new knowledge in new contexts.
