Writing instructors need to be able to contextualize their use of multimodal texts and lead students to rhetorically analyze how these create meaning. [ 9 ] Lack of resources has limited the ability of public school teachers to integrate new technologies that facilitate multimodal learning in their classrooms.
The most basic understanding of language comes via semiotics – the association between words and symbols. A multimodal text changes its semiotic effect by placing words with preconceived meanings in a new context, whether that context is audio, visual, or digital. This in turn creates a new, foundationally different meaning for an audience.
Kress argues that this different mode yields a different affordance; the visual image allows for open interpretation. A concrete example on paper might be a diagram such as a flow chart or graphic organizers. In such multi-modal texts, the reading path is much less linear and more open to the reader's interpretation.

Visual rhetoric or “visual modes of representation” has been present in composition (college writing) courses for decades but only as a complementary component “for writing assignments and instructions” since it was considered as “a less sophisticated, less precise mode of conveying semiotic content than written language.” [3] Nevertheless, many experts in composition studies ...
When various modes, such as language, image, music, colour and perspective are combined in different forms of media, with the major role attributed to the screen, audiovisual text can be described as multimedial. [3] An example of this, called multimodal transcription, is used in cinema. [4] A film is broken down into frames, shots or phases. [4]
Multimodal sentiment analysis is a technology for traditional text-based sentiment analysis, which includes modalities such as audio and visual data. [31] It can be bimodal, which includes different combinations of two modalities, or trimodal, which incorporates three modalities. [ 32 ]
