Who we are
Background and specialisms
Where we are situated
Theories on the visual: cognitive load & multimodality
Social semiotics - multimodality
Meaning through different modes & their interactions
Modes: written text, speech, gesture, images, aural etc.
Mode classifies a ‘channel’ of representation or communication (Kress, 2010).
Accession, creation and re-creation in other modes & interaction of modes – can be sources of understanding and learning.

Could you tell the difference between the reds on the left and the greens on the rights?
Colour can be a great resource in designing teaching, but be sure there are other cues for students to pick up on.
A great use of prexi: visual metaphor punchline =http://prezi.com/wo1yrqqobbu4/fuse/
