Digital Scholarship in Education: Multimodality as a Window into Learning

This book is an essential guide to multimodal theses and dissertations (MTDs) which involve researchers working with digital data such as video. Brendan Jacobs explains how MTDs provide new methodological options which can improve both the visibility and quality of research, and then provides a how-to guide for anyone interested in writing an MTD or engaging with digital scholarship. It helps readers understand how digital scholarship can generate insights into learning and contains links to examples of best practice in digital scholarship. Embracing the new methodological possibilities that a purely digital environment provides, this book sets a much-needed precedent for using multimodal approaches in your own research, from classroom practice right up to PhD level.
