Slide 2
MODE multimodal methodologies FOR RESEARCHING DIGITAL DATA AND
ENVIRONMENTS Multimodal analysis of digital texts: the semiotic
resources of different modes and how they are combined Design
through use the shift from readerly to writerly texts Texts and
linkages- re-ordering time, space and place Linear v non-linear
reading paths - on the page or screen The affordance of the
technology and its instantiation in the text
Slide 3
MODE multimodal methodologies FOR RESEARCHING DIGITAL DATA AND
ENVIRONMENTS Links these issues to the themes of the MODE:
Inter-disciplinary and mixed methods Researching time, place and
space in (multimodal) digital (data and) environments Using: a case
study of digital texts in context, collected at a particular point
in time, in a particular setting using ethnographic research
tools.
Slide 4
The data: Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) displays collected in
classroom settings
Slide 5
Evaluation of the Schools Whiteboard Expansion (SWE) Project:
London Challenge Interactive Whiteboards, Pedagogy and Pupil
Performance: An Evaluation Dr. Gemma Moss, Dr. Carey Jewitt,
Professor Ros Levai, Dr. Vicky Armstrong, Alejandra Cardini,
Frances Castle. Statistical analysis by Rebecca Allen, Andrew
Jenkins, and Maggie Hancock with Sue High. Institute of Education,

Slide 6
MODE multimodal methodologies FOR RESEARCHING DIGITAL DATA AND
ENVIRONMENTS The research context: An evaluation conducted in the
first year in which core subject departments in London secondary
schools were fully equipped with IWBs (2004/5) A mixed methods
research design combining: Survey data on London schools and core
subject departments IWB usage Statistical analysis of pupil
performance data, looking for the impact of IWBS on pupil
attainment Case studies of teaching with IWBs
Slide 7
MODE multimodal methodologies FOR RESEARCHING DIGITAL DATA AND
ENVIRONMENTS The case study research design: In each school:
observation of all core subject lessons in 3 Yr 9 classes in 1
week, including video-recording one lesson 1 days observation of
lessons elsewhere on the Yr 9 curriculum, with or without IWBs Text
collection of all IWB texts observed in use Teacher/ HOD interviews
(36 interviews) Pupil focus group interviews (27 focus groups)
Pupil survey of all pupils in case study classes Observation of CPD
and interviews with providers
Slide 8
The Unit of Analysis: The Text?
Slide 9
Or the text in its context of use? The literacy event ..
Slide 10
MODE multimodal methodologies FOR RESEARCHING DIGITAL DATA AND
ENVIRONMENTS Using the literacy event as the focus extends the
analysis to the multimodal resources available in the context of
use as well as the text. How are those resources mobilised, by
whom? How does the context influence the use of the text? How does
the text influence what happens in the context? The design issues
that arise.

The Textbook goes digital .
Slide 12
Using the space at the board to order the space in the
classroom

Slide 14
Imagining interactivity reconfiguring use of space and textual
resources drawing on current knowledge: English

Writing the writerly text in view when scale counts in
English
Slide 16
Writing the readerly text in view: when scale acts as evidence
of concept formation in Science

Slide 18
MODE multimodal methodologies FOR RESEARCHING DIGITAL DATA AND
ENVIRONMENTS 'Blessing' is from Dharker's first book, published in
1989. 'The scene of 'Blessing' is the largest slum in Asia Dharavi,
on the outskirts of Bombay. Bombay is the city of dreams. They've
come from all over India in the hope of a better life. And because
it is not an official living area there is a shortage of water. So
when a pipe bursts, it's like a gift...
Slide 19
Using old technology in new ways - Maths
Slide 20
When new isnt necessarily better teacher-led design for front
of classroom delivery in Maths
Slide 21
Re-ordering the text through annotation: imagining another kind
of pedagogical purpose
Slide 22
Stepping back from the case to the broader themes What did this
approach contribute to the evaluation? What do this set of digital
texts tell us about the interaction of text design and the social,
spatial and temporal contexts in which they are embedded? What are
the issues in combining research perspectives and drawing on
ethnography in multimodal analysis?
