Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Several decades have now passed since the publication in the Harvard Educational Review of the article by the New London Group, "A Pedagogy of Multiliteracies: Designing Social Futures" (1996).Published on the cusp of a revolution in our means of production of meaning, the article proved to be one of the most influential in the field of literacy education.Looking back over these decades, the article that follows is an intellectual biography written by two members of the original New London Group.It traces the origins of the idea, the subsequent work of the members of the group, and the main contours of the idea as reflected in a review of the literature.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
