Multivoice Work
Abstract
This chapter examines multivoice work as a foundational construct for understanding multimodal literacy practices in AI-enhanced educational contexts. Drawing on dialogic pedagogy and sociocultural theories, it explores how generative artificial intelligence transforms traditional notions of authorship, voice, and meaning-making in academic writing and digital composition. The chapter presents a comprehensive framework integrating multiple voices—human learners, educators, AI systems, and cultural-historical resources—within multimodal literacy practices. Through analysis of contemporary research and pedagogical applications, it demonstrates how AI-mediated environments create new possibilities for polyphonic learning while raising critical questions about agency, authenticity, and literacy competencies.
