How can we demonstrate the efficacy of multimodal composing in enhancing writing skills, particularly in the context of academic writing, given the prevalent skepticism surrounding its effectiveness in improving academic writing skills? are there any methods or techniques of analyzing students' multimodal products to showcase improvement in terms of macro or micro-skills of writing? concerning coherence, content, organization, etc.
Hello, Nikhil
You can analyze students' traditional academic writing before and after engaging in multimodal projects using measures of writing quality like a rubric. Look for improvements from the baseline in areas like organization, coherence, evidence use, style etc. I also suggest you to consider using a survey. The survey should be addressed for students on their perceived improvements in writing skills after completing a multimodal project. Also survey their confidence levels in applying writing skills to academic tasks before and after. Good luck
