Reference

Roswell, Jennifer. Jan 2003. "Working With Multimodality: Introduction" 
Modes are complex. They are used to help get information across to people. Some people learn in different ways and their are many different modes to accomplish how people learn best. Combining the different Modes for Multimodality will help reach a wider audience because more people learn in different ways.
