Communication Aids and

Strategies using Tools of


Technology
Objectives
•Convey ideas through oral audio-visual,
and/or web-based presentations for
different target audiences in local and
global settings using appropriate registers
•Adopt awareness of audience and context
in presenting ideas
•The essence of the stories we tell may
remain the same, the ways in which
we can now share these stories have
changed dramatically with the
development of digital
communication technologies.
What does creating multimodal texts mean?
• Creating is defined in the Australian Curriculum as
‘the development and/or production of spoken,
written or multimodal texts in print or digital forms’
and is an embedded literacy expectation across all
disciplines.
• Multimodal is defined in the Australian Curriculum as
the strategic use of ‘two or more communication
modes‘ to make meaning,  for example image,
gesture, music, spoken language, and written
language.
Remember …
The choice of media for
multimodal text creation is
therefore always an important
consideration.
•A multimodal text can be paper – such as
books, comics, posters.
•A multimodal text can be digital – from
slide presentations, e-books, blogs, e-
posters, web pages, and social media,
through to animation, film and video
games.
•A multimodal text can be live – a
performance or an event.
A multimodal text can be transmedia
• This is where the story is told using ‘multiple delivery
channels’ through a combination of media platforms, for
example, book, comic, magazine, film, web series, and video
game mediums all working as part of the same story.

• Henry Jenkins ( provost professor in communication) argues


that transmedia is more than just multiple media platforms, it
is about the logical relations between these media extensions
which seek to add something to the story as it moves from
one medium to another, not just adaptation or retelling.
Development of multimodal literacy knowledge and skills

•Skilled multimodal composition requires


new literacy design skills and
knowledge to enable students to make
informed choices within and across the
available communication modes to
effectively construct meaning.

What is a web – based
online presentation?

WEB-BASED OR ONLINE PRESENTATIONS

good about these online presentations is that they offer
free access.
• There are actually more online presentations available
given the popularity of digital media.
