It is argued that a simple model may nevertheless be useful but that it can be complemented with additional analyses. Such an analysis, called profile analysis, is proposed and applied to the reading data of…

Halverson, Erica Rosenfeld; Bass, Michelle; Woods, David – Qualitative Report, 2012
In the 21st century, meaning making is a multimodal act; we communicate what we know and how we know it using much more than printed text on a blank page.

The current study sought to address this limitation by utilizing a sequential approach to exploring…
