Abstract:

Today’s youth are visually stimulated, but hardly literate, in engaging in a vocabulary of design and the language of images. To educate and engage this new breed of learners, institutions of higher education are revisiting and revising the basic tenets of a general education by asking, What does it mean to be literate in today’s visually saturated society?
