Multimodal science communication across disciplines in virtual collaboration
| Summary: | In this paper, we present the results of a collaborative work experience between science students and humanities students at the University of Minho. The goal of this experiment was to introduce students to multimodal ways of communicating science in a space across disciplines. The methodology used was based on active learning scenarios, on the focus of multimodality as a pedagogical practice, and on the promotion of virtual means of collaboration that can be replicated in hybrid and distance learning contexts. Students carried out bibliographic research, planning through the use of the mind map technique, collaborative writing and the creation of science communication multimodal content, through the creation of a short animated video about one of the scientific themes covered. At the end a feedback questionnaire was applied which indicated that the methodology was well received among the students of both disciplines. |
