In this section we’ll consider multimodal presentation of ideas. “Multimodal” is a fancy word meaning\u00a0something that uses multiple modes\u2014in this case, modes of communication. The five modes of communication are:\u00a0visual<\/strong>,\u00a0linguistic<\/strong>,\u00a0spatial<\/strong>,\u00a0aural<\/strong>, and\u00a0gestural<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A mode<\/em> is different from a\u00a0medium<\/em>: a mode is a means of communicating, while a medium is the channel or system through which communications are conveyed. So, for example, if we want to communicate in the linguistic mode<\/em>, we might choose the medium<\/em> of print. If we want to communicate in the aural mode<\/em>, we might choose the medium<\/em> of a podcast. Both print and podcasts are forms of media.<\/p>\n

Multimodal presentation uses multiple modes to communicate information: for instance, an infographic uses both visual and linguistic modes to communicate (both images and words), while a video would use even more modes; potentially all five.<\/p>\n
