The way information is presented greatly affects the
manner it is perceived. Luckily, through continuous
developments in the field of digital communication
technology, we are now able to learn not only from
traditional texts that we must read sequentially, but
likewise, through interactive materials in various digital
and non-digital platforms like posters, infographics,
blogs, animations, and web pages, among others.
MULTIMODAL TEXT
A text is considered multimodal when it
combines two or more communication
modes to present information. In the context
of multimodal compositions, mode refers to
the method of communication being
employed. It can be (combination of)
linguistic, visual, auditory, gestural, or
spatial.
While composing multimodal texts is usually
associated with the use of
online and digital platforms, a multimodal
text does not necessarily have to be
digital in form. Generally, a multimodal text
may be print-based (paper), digital,
live, or transmedia (using multiple delivery
channels).
Identify the following examples of Examples of Multimodal Texts:
multimodal texts whether SIMPLE Animations Book Trailers
or COMPLEX. Use a table to show Newspaper Slide Presentation

Composing Texts with
Multimodal Elements
1. Textual Knowledge. A clear understanding
of the information at hand or the
specific subject from which the multimodal
composition is based is essential.
This will serve as the basis of determining
how information will be conveyed
and what modes may work best for the
information available.
2. Technological Knowledge. It is imperative
to understand what technological
tools and processes will best work for the
kind of multimodal texts to be
produced.
3. Semiotic Knowledge. This refers to
understanding how each mode can work
to convey meaning, where each mode or
semiotic system has its own function.
4. Ability to Combine Various Modes. When
composing multimodal text, it is
vital to understand what combinations will
work best in conveying the
meaning of a specific set of information.
5. Understanding Different Genres. Like in
writing, it is also important in
multimodal compositions to take into
consideration the purpose, target
audience, and text-type.
