Multimodal Reflection Blog

The topic I did my project on was adult care facilities. The idea for the topic came after my research on what I wanted to do. I wanted my topic to be healthcare related, since that was what I started with. My main audience was mostly elderly people and anyone in charge of the well being of an elderly person. The reason for my choice of audience is simply because adult care facilities are mostly occupied by senior citizens. Also the information I provided would be helpful to them when looking for an adult care facility. The main purpose for my choice of topic was to help both the patient and their families, when considering relocating to an adult care facility.

My multimodal webtext would be well suited to a web reader because I always try to make my presentation as simple as possible; this one was not left out. The information about adult care facilities is enormous. I tried to simplify the information as much as possible, to allow readers to understand what I talked about. For the multimodal slide show, I created a tour of a typical adult facility. I think it will help readers visualize what to expect at an adult care facility.

I did not find helpful resources online, so I visited a facility to talk with the personnel. Most of the information I found online was on the cost. The rest of the information was from my interview with the personnel of the facility. The hardest part was organizing the pictures to flow with the podcast. It took several tries and time to get it done right, but I think it was worth the trouble. Overall I think I liked the idea of multiple peer review, it actually gave me more insights to the topic. It also helped in making it a better project.
