Abstract:

The growth in technology and COVID 19 pandemic has led to the creation of a bulk of learning resources for all subjects at all levels of education. Skills-based subjects are also being taught online. Teachers and educational experts have combined efforts to develop audio-visual aids that are intended for self-learning. Most of these are short videos that make use of multiple modes like sound, images as well as instruction. The teacher or instructor directly addresses the learners and presents content or concepts as in a live classroom. While presenting, he/she takes help of images or sound tracks. Hence, the impact of the lesson is the total effects of all the modes, including the teacher’s verbal, non-verbal instructions, the sound/music/songs/ and the images, photographs and content in the form of ppt. In order to understand the complete effect of a lesson, it is necessary to identify and isolate each kind of mode used during the lesson and to analyse it. Since the mode is multiple, the discourse analysis must also be multi-modal. This study is based on this assumption.
