Content: Allowing students to discuss or present concepts according to their learning styles affords them the chance to reinforce their learning and gain a new perspective through peer interactions. Ways to incorporate multimodal learning
Though it may seem like a complete paradigm shift in lesson planning, using these tips can help teachers make a seamless switch to multimodal learning. Incorporate visual aids. Look for graphs, charts, artwork, diagrams, and other representations that will catch students’ eyes and make them see the content in a new light. Bring in mixed media. Videos, podcasts, games, and educational technology tools can broaden students’ perceptions and enrich their understanding of class concepts. Take advantage of blended learning opportunities. Teachers who are just beginning multimodal learning can ease themselves into it by continuing direct instruction in their familiar style and introducing mixed modes in the virtual realm through their learning management system. Give students autonomy over their learning. In multimodal learning, the responsibility of attending to learning styles rests on the students just as much as the teachers.
