Writing Studio Pedagogy
Writing Studio Pedagogy (WSP) breaks from the tradition of teaching and responding to writing in traditional ways and moves the teaching and learning experience off the page and into engaging spaces in multiple ways, which can enhance the composing process. Through this collection, scholars interested in rethinking approaches to teaching, writing pedagogy, and innovative learning will find new ways to challenge their own understandings of space, place, and collaboration. WSP involves an attention to space and place in the development of rhetorical acts by focusing on the ways in which they enhance pedagogy. This book takes a unique opportunity to return to pedagogy as the foremost priority in any learning space. Educators might preference WSP for its emphasis on student-centeredness by creating productive interactions, intersections, and departures that arrive from prioritizing learning. WSP acknowledges the centralized role of students and teachers as co-facilitators in learning and writing. These threads are intentionally broad-based, as the chapters contained in this book speak to the complexity of WSP across institutions.

Studio-Based Approaches for Multimodal Projects
Studio-Based Approaches for Multimodal Projects examines a cross-section of strategies for studio approaches and models that enable process-oriented multimodal projects and promote student learning. This collection features seven chapters authored or coauthored by leaders and innovators in studio-based approaches. These scholars explore studio models and provide vivid examples of ways in which they are realized as students pursue, design, and create multimodal projects, including ePortfolios, research posters, websites, and other engaging artifacts that integrate oral, written, visual, and electronic communication. Studio-based approaches enhance creativity, interaction, and learning among students. The models designed and employed to support these activities would benefit from a more focused look. This collection assembles perspectives from scholar-practitioners who know and use studio-based models. They are experts in this area and have helped to shape current understandings of approaches that work well to enhance learning through multimodal projects--those that integrate oral, visual, written, or electronic modes of communication.
