Discourse and persuasion 3.0: Identities in a hybrid and multimodal world

University of Zaragoza, TERUEL (24-27 September 2019)

In LD6, we set out to cast light on the intricacies of persuasive discourse and the manifold reactions it may engender in today’s globalised and multicultural societies. At the core of this endeavour is a genuine willingness and commitment to tease out the nature of persuasion in diverse contexts (e.g. art, education, business, sport, companies, the private sphere, etc.), through diverse channels (e.g. face-to-face interaction, on-line communication, published articles, performances, etc.), and as more or less relevant to diverse identities (e.g. linguistic, political, gendered, etc.). As in previous LD editions, interdisciplinarity will also be key for us. This time, in LD6, the collaboration and cross-fertilisation of knowledge will show in an organising and scientific team encompassing Philology, Psychology, Education, Business and Fine Arts, five areas representing the extremely enriching interdisciplinary make-up of the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences in Teruel.

OU innovating pedagogy report 2019

This series of reports explores new forms of teaching, learning, and assessment for an interactive world, to guide teachers and policy makers
in productive innovation.

This seventh report proposes ten innovations that are already in currency but have not yet had a profound influence on
education.

To produce the report, a group of academics at the Institute of Educational Technology in The Open University collaborated with
researchers from Norway’s Centre for the Science of Learning & Technology (SLATE).
