New Voices in Norwegian Educational Research

Part of the book series: New Research – New Voices ((NRNV))

An open-ended mix of text, pictures and moving images in new genres characterises many emerging literacy practices and affinity-based online cultures in the 21st-Century. In contrast to analogue technologies, digital technology makes it possible to combine different modes of communication in seamless ways.
