● Multimodality offers the opportunity to comprehend information through
different channels (Rost, 2002, p. 105)
● Multimodal approach gives students more control of the direction of learning.
(Legros and Crinon, 2002)
● The more different ways students learn, the more they remember. (Lazear, 2008)
