  12. Kinds of evidence He asked me to do various documents and print-outs and screen dumps of my daily working tasks, inspections, response system, demand system so I had an illustration and then do a little write-up about it, a little caption of what err, both diagrams, meetings, saying that this is what I’ve processed, functions, defective goods, etc. And then do a brief statement about it and then after I did all these captions…then I did story boards of my job, how I’m doing retails, how it’s processed, how the goods are coming in, inspecting them, processing them on the system, doing correspondence if it’s been refused, etc…step by step guide really, putting into texture that somebody can read, get the gist of what I’m…I actually do on a day basis.

  18. Contradictions I would say things like team working and communication is relevant to my work, we should write about, but the other aspects, especially diversity and stuff, the day to day, in the job tasks, I’m doing story boards about something not being fully aware of it

  19. Expansion • D: on the last couple of units I have done a bit of revising and looked for a bit of help from library books Z: Yes tell me about that D: Yes I decided to, because I thought struggling all on my own weren’t any…I wasn’t putting it probably in any good context, you know, professionally it’s not good, so I did a little bit of studying and looked and made a few notes. • …because I’ve studied things and looked up and revised things a little bit, it’s given me more knowledge, you see, it improved me as a person, so each single subject has given me some knowledge of it.

  20. Network relations • Polycontextuality • Boundary-crossing • Portfolios as hybrid creations and the result of hybrid literacy practices • Third space

  21. Identity Formation(1) • Identification with workplace practices • Non-identification with qualification practices • “it will make a massive difference whether a person does or does not identify with the sort of people who are its ‘subjects’, and whether they take to themselves its ‘objects’”. (Ivanic, 2006)

  22. Identity Formation(2) • Identity is reshaped in the third space • Identification with the third space and the involving literacy practices Thank you!!!
