A reply from Sian in response to my question about the use of video. I can't disagree with any of the below. Basically, it would be good, but its not necessary, and my priority should be the writing.
The video idea was already on hold until I get the writing out of the way, however it has been useful to have this reaffirmed.
I know I'm not supposed to be working on this until the writing is out of the way, however I had half an hour in a cafe over lunch so thought I might as well put it to use. Some thoughts on how the 'campus exploration' video might work:
What follows?
[Lunch ends] The 'digital tools' video should be included at the end of the Acknowledgements and References section.
It's appropriate that the ending to the dissertation should be authentically multimodal. Maybe there's even a way of acknowledging the conclusion of the dissertation with what appears in the video? Maybe something on screen? Maybe I log out. Or the computer shuts down and then the lights go off (with sound) as per the Manifesto video. This would be nice - nothing too forced, though - no 'The End' or 'That's all folks' kind of thing. Quickly: the Abstract should be linked from the screen on the front page of the website.
Or can it appear in full, rather than linked? Not sure that would work particularly well in thinglink. It might work in Padlet, although that has limitations in its own right. The following text could go in the methodology. It's lifted from an earlier draft of the Introduction:
A semi-narrative approach also encouraged participants to tell their own story of how they had encountered multimodality as students or in other settings, and how this had informed their subsequent practice as tutors. Participants were also invited to discuss how they would approach the assessment of two contrasting multimodal assessment artefacts, having been invited to view the work prior to interview. |
