A Multimodal Framework for Computer Mediated Learning: The Reshaping of Curriculum Knowledge and Learning

available to the students in the lesson. The transcripts provide an initial analytical
description of the classroom data. These transcripts are used alongside the video data.
For the purposes of the ‘presentation’ of the data in Chapters Four through to Six in
some cases the transcripts are presented in to show speech, gesture, and gaze as a
series of lines (similar to a kind of musical score). The speech is underlined to
indicate where gesture and so on co-occur. The decision to use one kind of
transcription for analysis and another for presentation helps to re-present the
analytical process in order to make the point of the discussion more clearly available
to the reader.

In this chapter I have drawn on the theoretical framework discussed in Chapter Two
and the aims of the thesis outlined in Chapter One in order to describe the framework
for the analysis of the data presented in Part II of the thesis. In the following chapters
I focus on the analysis of specific instances of technology-mediated learning in
school in English, Mathematics and Science.
