dc.description.abstractWe can no longer confine literacy pedagogy to the realm of language alone, as we need to take into account the role of images and other modes of meaning-making in texts. Nowadays, the tasks set for students’ assignments in higher education often require complex multimodal competencies (Archer 2006). Many assignments use images as evidence, whilst other assignments are predominantly visual in nature, such as posters, storyboards, or assignments that include CD-roms or other media. New technologies also enable a range of possibilities for individuals creating documents, including variety in layout, image, color, typeface, sound. The challenge for writing centers is to train the tutors to utilize these technologies effectively themselves so that they can deal with the changing nature of assignments.en_ZA
