Read the lesson on MODE thoroughly.
For this week’s discussion, I would like you to think about the relationship between the modality of a message and the content of a message.
Create a new thread. In this thread, include a link (or embed image/video) to the following:
Find 1-2 examples of a piece of content on your topic that uses modes other than textual (e.g. a video, a podcast episode, etc.). For example, if my research topic was on Female Infertility, I would look for a podcast episode (or a whole show) that discusses this research or perhaps a youtube video or blog. Try to stick to the most likely genres: vidoes (animated and non-animated), podcasts, and blogs.
Then answer the following questions:
Why/How does MODALITY matter when it comes to content?
What are the strengths/weaknesses of certain modalities when it comes to communicating content?
Do non-textual modalities have value in a professional context? Why/why not?
What communication/persuasion strategies might you borrow from the examples that you found for your own Multimodal Proposal Project?
