In this session, leaders from Penn State’s Program in Writing and Rhetoric (PWR) showcase an innovative Infographics Unit designed for 5,000 First-Year Writing students.
Discover how they guide students to transform written arguments into compelling data visualizations using Adobe Express. You’ll explore how PWR faculty scaffold, support, and assess multimodal projects, with a strong focus on critical thinking and creativity in the age of Generative AI. These projects demonstrate how technology can be thoughtfully and strategically integrated into writing courses.
