Abstract:
Considering the physical distance created during online writing consultations, how we inculcate multimodal strategies in the technologically mediated environment without causing disruptions to recipients’ understanding is critical. The interactions during an online writing consultation involve a multiplicity of communicative styles from verbal to visual and even kinesthetic approaches which make it necessary to accommodate students learning idiosyncrasies. This presentation centers on the need to harness the potential that multimodality promises in providing feedback during an online writing consultation in a cohesive and inclusive manner bearing in mind the technological limitation of non-human connection during online writing consultations.
