Abstract

The authors of the article consider the concept of multimodal pedagogical design in the works of the founders of this concept M. Kalantzis and B. Cope. They connect the necessity of multimodal pedagogical design implementation with the formation of new, non-didactic digital pedagogy and the need to strengthen the emotional involvement of students, especially those from another culture and need to be immersed in a socio-cultural context. The experience of multimodal pedagogical design application is analyzed on the example of using films and website of Russian director A. Zvyagintsev, who develops traditions of existential cinematography and creates complex intertextual and culture-centered artistic language in his film narratives. The authors involve scientists from the Center for Media Education (Taganrog), Ural Federal University, and foreign colleagues to discuss the potential of cinematography as one of the instruments of multimodal pedagogical design around which the study of certain disciplines can be built. The conclusion is that only by engaging modern multimodal means of transferring knowledge and transforming existential experience, such as modern cinema and social networks, websites, blogs, it is possible to successfully attract and retain the attention of the audience in the remote education process.
