Wait, What’s “Multimodal”?
The definition of multimodal is “characterized by several different modes of activity or occurrence”. So what does that mean exactly? It means something that has multiple components that come together to create a great outcome.
My Multimodal Magic
For my Critical Thinking and Writing class, I have been tasked with transforming my final research paper into a multimodal project for my intended audience. Since I’ve been talking about diversity (for basically the entire quarter), I chose to direct my project to fellow students and faculty here at Santa Clara University. For the actual project itself, I’m thinking of creating a collage-style image but making it hand drawn to add a personal touch. So where does this look like exactly? Well, here’s a little snippet.
Besides this, I want to make it into either a video similar to whiteboard videos like this or stop-motion style videos like this. I want to incorporate small images and phrases to make my point really shine through to the audience. Also, the timeline on the side would provide clarification and some direction to where this is all headed. Overall, I’m excited to finally get creative and innovative with all the research I’ve done!
