Main Article Content
Abstract
This study reviews the topic of multi-modality learning in this digital age, as well as examines the possibilities and limitations of its effect on student engagement and learning outcomes. Multimodal learning can be explained as the usage of several instructional methods in educating student; they are text, image, audio, or technology-enriched tool. Due to the increasing interest in incorporating multi-modality technique in teaching and learning, this review will include the following topics: theoretical definitions of multi-modality learning; background on multi-modality learning and methods; application and benefits of using multi-modality technology in various education fields such as language, science, medicine, and statistics; and its influences on student engagement and learning outcomes.
