So how can we use emoji in the academic sphere?
The aim of this research is to show that emoji characters have a huge role in social composition. It also seems the ways people use them to make for some interesting visual arguments. We see huge potential for learning with emoji.
They could be used in visual note-taking especially since many students are already using tablets to complete class work.
As seen in the image above people seem to love attempting to replace lyrics with emoji, this trend could be turned into an assignment in literary analysis. In which higher modes of literature are attempted to be "translated" in this fashion. This would encourage students to really pay attention to the material and developing a better understanding of the relationship between the written word and the intended image.
The third would be attaching tone to passages. Essentially making a map throughout a piece of literature of all the emotions the writing is touching on. In a similar fashion character maps could be designed in which students attach all the personality traits of one character by grouping the character with the appropriate emoji. Writing prompts could also be designed with emoji.
In conclusion, there are several roads which the emoji bridge might ultimately lead. One fact is that social composers love them. So really, what better way to get millennials involved in writing than adopting these tools which they use so comfortably.
