Abstract
This paper presents work-in-progress on a longitudinal study (2003-2007) that
aims at identifying and examining the educational features associated with valueadding
to the literate capabilities of students with varying performance and
process profiles. The study, funded by the Australian Research Council, adopts a
situated perspective to investigate the patterns of performance that are evident
across the high school years on school-relevant online tasks in a wide range of
sites. Of special interest in the discussion are the methodological issues associated
with recording, coding and analysing students’ activities online, drawing on
screen tracking software. The software has been used to capture how students use
digital technologies to research and synthesise information which is drawn on to
create a multimodal text demonstrating how they convey new curricular
knowledge.
