Why is it important?

In this paper I analysed the interaction between learners and software from the perspective of power relations (Foucault), Multimodality (Kress & Van Leeuwen), as well as Voice and intertextuality (Bakhtin). The findings showed that software can exercise power over the learners and influence their identity representations. It is a qualitative study which highlights the importance of the interaction between learners and computer which may negatively influence their identity representations and literacy practices.
