| While many instructors have begun to employ a combination of critical and creative thinking in their teaching, there are many possibilities in the 21st century to expand both on the way students interact with their writing processes and their writing tools. Computers can facilitate thinking and composing processes, and the available multimodal forms of composition may help the way students think, compose, and revise. By leveraging technology to combine critical and creative thinking, instructors may integrate multimodal composition into their curriculum. In a comparative study between a course design using alphabetic text-based materials and multimodal materials, students' effectiveness at assimilating, considering, and relaying content and developing writing processes were analyzed. Multimodal formats improved ideation and communication in student writing. |
