Multimodal Communication: Ways to Use Multimodal Communication

Plan Your Use of Multimodal Communication

  • Why does the extra mode enhance this work for the audience? If you can't answer this question, then the mode is unnecessary.
  • How can I place this mode into the work to best enhance it?   If you can't place it correctly, the audience is jarred or startled.

Writing and Displaying Multiple Modes

  • For this project, practice with 3 media types.   What will they be? sound, color, placement of text? something else?
  • You must cite graphics, facts, and quotes you use in your project.
  • You need to practice delivering your multimodal project, so it doesn't sound "unrehearsed."

Whether speaking one-on-one or to hundreds, it's always a presentation. Formal or informal, it's always a presentation. Whether it's long or short, it's still a presentation. Whether it's a sales speech, management briefing, staff meeting or discussing a concept, plan, or presenting a proposal, it's nil the same: It's a presentation, and the presenter is on the line.
