Brittain Postdoctoral Fellowship. During this time, the WOVEN (Written, Oral, Visual, Electronic, and Nonverbal communication) curriculum she implemented in Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s first-year composition and technical communication courses helped fuel the importance of multimodal composition in writing programs across the nation (and, indeed, the world).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESince Dr. Burnett began her tenure as the director of the Brittain Fellowship and the Writing and Communication Program (WCP) at Georgia Tech in 2007, multimodal writing pedagogy has become the central focus and practice of classrooms across the disciplines. Through her research and leadership, Dr. Burnett has been a driving force behind the creative, student-centered, and high-impact teaching practices that have become a standard feature of US higher education. Her mentorship has impacted more than 100 early-career teacher-scholars who have left Georgia Tech and the Brittain Fellowship to undertake positions in academia, high school education, industry, and elsewhere. Dr. Burnett\u0026rsquo;s retirement offers an occasion for those of us who have been fortunate enough to work with her to reflect on ways her influence has shaped the field as we anticipate the shape that teaching with and about digital technology will take in the coming decades.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn celebration of Dr. Burnett\u0026rsquo;s legacy, we invite scholarly papers, talks, and digital posters that speak to her ongoing interests and concerns in multimodal communication, pedagogy\/digital pedagogy, and mentorship\/professional development\/leadership.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESome possible topics include (but are not limited to) the following:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EMultimodal Communication\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003EMultimodal assessment\/digital portfolios\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003EDigital information design\/data visualization\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003EVisual rhetoric \/ design\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003ETechnical narratives\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003EPhotography\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003EMultimodal communication strategies in and beyond academia\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003ESocial media\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EPedagogy\/Digital Pedagogy\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003EReflection in and about composition\/tech comm classroom\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003EUsing archives in the writing\/communication classroom\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003EHybrid and online course design\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003ECollaborative assignment\/course design\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003ETeaching multimodal composition\/technical communication\/etc.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003ETeaching with technology\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003EConnected learning strategies\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003EClient-based assignments\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EMentorship\/Professional Development\/Leadership\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003ETeacher training, i.e. digital pedagogy course design\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003EProfessional development in and beyond academia\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003EAcademic leadership\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003EWriting\/communication program administration\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003ETextbook authorship\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003EMentoring postdocs and other early-career faculty\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cp\u003ECommunity outreach\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESessions are 60 minutes with 15 minutes between sessions.
