Multimodal Research Projects

What is multimodal?

Have you been asked to create a multi-modal research project? Instead of a typical written research paper, multimodal projects include multiple modes for communicating your thesis, ideas, and research findings. This can include any combination of text and:

  • images 
  • video or animation
  • sound or audio

Ideally, a multi-modal research project engages a larger audience than just your professor and classmates! Consider sharing your project through a public platform like a website, YouTube, or social media. Depending on your assignment, you might choose a particular genre, such as a presentation, video, podcast, infographic, website, or blog.
