Multimodal Literacies MOOC’s Updates

Update#1

Multimodal communication makes communication much simpler and more accessible. Because multimodal communication allows me to effortlessly convey my ideas, emotions, views, and perspectives to others and have them comprehend what I was trying to say. One example of multimodal communication in my life is the integrated learning that we have at our school. Blended learning occurs when we hold one face-to-face class or meeting every week and two online meetings. It was difficult to adjust at first, but after you gained a sense of it, communicating became much simpler. Traditional definitions of literacy include the capacity to talk, read and write, listen, and utilize language. However, this is not restricted to the talents listed; traditional notions of literacy also include accurate word usage, spelling, and capitalization, among other things. On the other hand, Multimodal refers to the ability to combine many kinds of literacy. Examples include using photos or movies, emojis, and so on. In comparison to the former types of literacy, technological improvements have made reading more convenient and easy for its users, rendered communication much easier in recent times, and may be regarded as a superior option for communication and reading. However, social media not only replaced and dominated conventional literacy, but it also diverted most pupils from performing any work. All of the information in front of us has diverted social media away from its core function, which is to communicate and connect with peers. It may also be observed in this learning mode since, since the epidemic, we believed it would be tough for us to attend school and continue studying because everybody is reluctant to go outdoors. With the assistance of multimodal communication, which accepts all types of communication that we may use to make ourselves intelligible to others, it allows me and others to be heard and understood effortlessly. We had more means to communicate and made the most of social media.
