A student asked me some interesting questions about my purpose in writing the blog and my intended audience. I suppose I had not even made these explicit to myself.
I think the postings are an opportunity to reflect on issues that seem interesting and relevant to me at the time of writing. I also imagine that my main audience is myself although I do make the postings public so I hope some other people read and perhaps feel interested enough to comment.
I am currently involved in moderating the E852 multimodality forum. This has always been an interesting experience and we are currently discussing some political manifestos. However, I reflected on how little I use multimodal affordances in this blog and have the following hypotheses for why this is:
- perhaps I do not think in a very visual way
- I tend to post fairly frequently but quickly
- my posts tend to be quite short.
I suspect the latter two are the main reasons.
