Making discussion of the data multimodal

7/7/2013

Why should my discussion of the data be purely text-based (as I've had in my head). It should be multimodal. And this goes beyond a the use of enlarged type and so on as purely aesthetic visual effects. It should by critical. Here's an idea, then:
I could create summary diagrams, for instance spider diagrams collect ideas. This might include 'reasons identified by participants as promoting multimodal approaches amongst students'.

Or I could be more imaginative than that...

I could create diagrams that synthesise or compare data from different (yet related) questions. As an example this might include 'factors identified by participants that promote and discourage multimodal approaches amongst students'. This might take some a tabular diagrammatic form.

As a more ambitious approach again...

Could I use infographics in some way? Hmmm, less sure about this. After all, infographics tend to lend themselves towards statistical data (at least, I think they do).
While this has been a useful bit of quick thinking-and-jotting-down, I suspect that I should probably focus on the data and see what types of visual approaches lend themselves to emerging themes, rather than thinking of visual approaches and then trying to find data to match.
