Reflections on Reading Cope and Kalantzis' “‘Multiliteracies’: New Literacies, New Learning”

This paper offers what is meant to be a long footnote to Bill Cope and Mary Kalantzis' paper, “‘Multiliteracies’: New Literacies, New Learning”. The footnote is about my perspective on learning and how that perspective has developed from and since the New London Group meetings. At the same time, I reflect on particular aspects of the first New London Group meeting; for example, the important role the notion of design played, from a perspective of looking back now, many years later.
