Project 2: Multimodal Artifact Assignment

While your Exploration and Analysis Paper provided time for you to explore the different technologies used in your area of interest, the Multimodal Artifact Assignment is designed to provide an opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of multimodal communication in your chosen area. In this section we have provided information about two tools (i.e. Weebly and WordPress) that you might use for this assignment. Both Weebly and WordPress are entirely web based tools that allow you to create a dynamic web presents for your multimodal artifacts assignment. Directions for creating accounts and utilizing both of these tools are found below.

Creating a Weebly Account

In this video you will learn how to create your Weebly account, select a theme, and launch the Weebly editor. Or you can simply go to Weebly.com site to create your free Weebly account.

Using the Weebly Editor

Next, in the Beginner's Guild to Weebly (i.e. below) you will learn how to use the Weebly Editor to build your web site, adding links to documents, changing themes, connect to other artifacts, and publishing your site.

To get WordPress set up, just go to WordPress.com and follow the steps to set up your account.

With WordPress you get:

  • Your own WordPress.com address (like you.wordpress.com, you can switch to a custom address later if you’d like)
  • A selection of great free and customizable designs for your site or blog (they call them themes)
  • 3 gigabytes of file storage (that’s about 2,500 pictures!)
  • Access to a large community of blogs and websites
