During the covid19 crisis, connecting with other people via apps

people have maintained personal and professional connections.
Choose an app that incorporates video chat into its functionality.

Use the app walkthrough method, that we learnt about in week 2,

for communicators, the contexts, and the social relations which
communication helps to maintain?” (Jenson, 2013: 29-30).

app’s design as a semiotic technology (e.g. rhetorical devices such as word choices, images,
font, colours, layout, structure etc.) that you observe during your walkthrough
