| Abstract | Academics have a long history of claiming and defending the superiority of verbal over visual for representing knowledge. By dismissing imagery as mere decoration, they have upheld the sanctity of print for academic discourse. However, in the last decade, digital technologies have broken down the barriers between words and pictures, and many of these same academics are now willing to acknowledge that melding text with image constructs new meaning, and some may even go so far as to admit that images, as communication devices, can stand on their own. In this article, the authors assert that higher education has the opportunity to take a systematic institutional approach to defining core values that include visual acuity alongside the ability to read and write, formalizing curricula that teach skills and engage students, and initiating debate on issues related to how visual literacy benefits society. To do this, they suggest three steps to accelerate the adoption of new visual literacies consistent with academic goals: (1) Multimodal fluency: Teach a basic visual design vocabulary; (2) Design context: Provide the places, people, and resources needed for those in the academic community to become visual producers; and (3) Visual judgment: Develop constructive critics of visual information.
