Digital Visual Literacy NSF Grant

As international culture and commerce become increasingly reliant on visual communications, Digital Visual Literacy (DVL) will be an essential skill for college graduates to thrive in a digital, networked world.  DVL is the ability to critically analyze digital visual materials, create effective visual communications, and make judgments and decisions using visual representations of thoughts and ideas.  During a National Science Foundation Advanced Technology Education project, twelve instructional modules were developed and tested by Maricopa Community College faculty and partners.  These modules are freely available for any instructors to use.
