teaching internet literacy to a large and Diverse Audience
Australasian Conference on Computer Science Education, 1997Co-Authors: Wayne Brookes, Jadwiga IndulskaAbstract:Very large and Diverse Audiences pose a variety of problems for lecturers and students alike [l]. This paper presents an approach used in the School of Information Technology at The University of Queensland to teach an Internet literacy course to a Diverse student Audience. The course provides an introduction to computer networks and teaches students from various university faculties how to effectively use a variety of Internet services. The subject integrates efforts on teaching Internet literacy at the university in order to minimise teaching effort and to maximise quality of teaching. The paper discusses the variety of means deployed in order to provide a flexible, self-directed learning environment for the course. This led to: The inclusion of QUIKF'ro!, a specially developed Computer Based Training package on Internet services and resources; providing easy access to learning materials from campus or from home; and using innovative assessment methods which aim at improving the process and quality of assessment. Assessment was carried out online and used anonymous assessment, peer assessment and criterion-referenced marking.

“It will emerge if they grow fond of it”: Translanguaging and power in Quechua teaching
Linguistics and Education, 2015Co-Authors: Virginia ZavalaAbstract:Abstract This article addresses Quechua instruction to emergent bilinguals in urban schools, as part of the implementation of a language policy promoting Quechua in the Peruvian Andes. In the light of two other teachers who work in similar scenarios and the language ideologies of Quechua experts leading the language policy, this article analyzes a focal teacher who constructs alternative ideologies and subjectivities that contribute to transform the power relationships typically enacted in these racially segregated urban schools. Through translanguaging strategies for involving her Diverse Audience ( Creese and Blackledge, 2010 , Garcia, 2009 ) and a critical language awareness approach to make the invisible visible and the inaudible audible ( Bucholtz & Hall, 2004 ), this teacher constructs a community of legitimate Quechua speakers, which subverts the dominant representation of the bilingual speaker as the “perfectly” coordinated bilingual and the invisibilization of emergent bilinguals in the official language policy. Like other studies that conceptualize teachers as policy makers ( Menken & Garcia, 2010 ), the present study shows that teachers negotiate with official language policies and can ultimately contest them in practice. However, in the case under study, this constitutes a process where the teacher initially reproduces ambiguous and contradictory discourses before reaching more critical positionings.

Dog-Whistle Politics: Multivocal Communication and Religious Appeals
Political Behavior, 2015Co-Authors: Bethany L. AlbertsonAbstract:This paper explores how multivocal appeals, meaning appeals that have distinct meanings to different Audiences, work with respect to religious language. Religious language is common in politics, but there is great variation in its effectiveness. I argue that multivocal appeals can resonate as religious with select Audiences but have no religious content for other listeners. I test the effectiveness of multivocal and obvious religious appeals experimentally with two national samples: an ingroup that understands the religious connotations in a multivocal appeal and a religiously Diverse outgroup that does not. Religious appeals are persuasive for the ingroup, but an obvious religious appeal can be politically costly by triggering negative reactions among outgroup members, while the religious meaning in a multivocal appeal eludes them. Obvious religious appeals are costly in the Diverse Audience because of different preferences over the appropriate role for religion in political speech.

The meaning and the measure of health literacy
Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2006Co-Authors: David W BakerAbstract:Over the last decade, health literacy has become a vibrant area of research. Investigators have elucidated the prevalence of limited health literacy and the relationship of limited health literacy with patients' knowledge, health behaviors, health outcomes, and medical costs, as summarized in reports by several prominent organizations.1–4 This special issue of JGIM devoted to the topic of health literacy is further evidence of the wide and Diverse Audience interested in this field. Ironically, as the field of health literacy has expanded in scope and depth, the term “health literacy” itself has come to mean different things to various Audiences and has become a source of confusion and debate. In 1999, the American Medical Association's Ad Hoc Committee on Health Literacy defined health literacy as “the constellation of skills, including the ability to perform basic reading and numerical tasks required to function in the health care environment,” including “the ability to read and comprehend prescription bottles, appointment slips, and other essential health-related materials.”2 The definitions used by Healthy People 20105 and the Institute of Medicine (IOM)3 were similar: “The degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions.” These definitions present health literacy as a set of individual capacities that allow the person to acquire and use new information. These capacities are relatively stable over time, although they may improve with educational programs or decline with aging or pathologic processes that impair cognitive function.6
