Abstract:
This workshop is for participants preparing new or evaluating current multimodal services. While some resources assume that writing centers are already well-equipped for multimodal work, we recognize the many considerations when offering multimodal tutoring in online or hybrid settings, including reliable technology, inclusive and accessible modalities, and tutor training. Drawing on existing scholarship (Cheatle, 2020; McGinnis & Gray, 2020; Cecil-Lemkin & Johnson, 2021) and our own experiences as administrators, we will guide participants in reflecting on their multimodal readiness at the center, tutor, and session level, and provide a framework for determining where we all might better prepare for multimodal work.
