How do I structure the data analysis and discussion

Having looked over the data this morning, it feels like I should begin by offering background on the course itself. This could include information drawn from official course materials (including website), with references obviously. This could be followed - within the same first section -  by a discussion of the ways in the course is multimodal. This could be drawn from a combination of the course documentation as well as information drawn from the data.  This could include (not necessarily in this order):
  • courses where a multimodal approach is encouraged (perhaps only within assessment?), and perhaps acknowledging where it is particularly so
  • the edcmooc
  • dissertation festival
  • something about how multimodality informs course design
  • something about why multimodality is encouraged, particularly in relation to assessment

Having provided some context I would them have different sections based around particular themes. These might be shaped around the research questions or emergent themes. Or a combination of both. In fact, it might be that emergent themes address more than one topic therefore perhaps I focus on the emergent themes and consider them in relation to the literature particularly.

Whilst I remember, one of these sections will focus on the invitation for tutors to reflect on two examples. Something like: 'As part of the interview, participants were invited to reflect on two multimodal artefacts that had been submitted for assessment within the E-Learning and Digital Cultures course. Participants were sent a link to each of the assignments, both of which were hosted on the gallery of submitted assignments for that course. The first artefact....description'

I would then go on to discuss how the different emergent themes help to address the different research questions.

This is one to run past Sian.
