Themes for dissemination rationale

28/5/2013

Considering the subject of my research, it is entirely appropriate that I should elect to present my dissertation in a digital multimodal format. Indeed, there is an argument that to do otherwise - and to submit a conventional text-based essay - would have to be seen in itself as questioning the validity of the digital multimodal form in an academic setting. 

A key theme to emerge from my data collection - and which echoes research undertaken in student attitudes towards digital assignments (citations required) is that submitting work in an unconventional multimodal way involves. Within this comes the difficulty in anticipating how the format will sit against individual marker expectations. I won't know who they are. This is high stakes - it's the unknown. The literature talks about thinking about audience preferences, however I don't know who this will be and how they might respond. Cite from the handbook at this stage.

The form of my dissemination might be informed and influenced by the following factors:

  • my own technical and critical skills (including the limits of my ability in relation to different communication modes)
  • a desire to experiment
  • uncertainty over whether the form would be seen to be appropriate in the eyes of the marker and against the assessment criteria
  • others

What am I going to say and do within my dissemination rationale?
  • The artefact itself will be a metaphorical representation of the subject matter: a constellation of words image and sound.
  • I want to explore the idea that students can draw on a range of communicational tools to present their ideas. I will build the site. I will compose, capture and edit all the images and photography. I will decide the layout, colour,  structure and navigation of the site, presenting myself as the student designer rather than author.
  • I will present ideas through an assemblage of image, text and design.
  • I intend to draw on a range of communicational tools to express my ideas. offering a juxtaposition of image and words hosted within a web essay.

Some of the ideas here could go in my dissemination rationale.
