Question #4: What kinds of Multimodal assignments do you use (select all that apply)?

Chart 4

Conclusions

Excluding Microsoft PowerPoint, only 37% of respondents currently assign multimodal compositions using digital texts (i.e. audio essays, video essays, websites, blogs, and wikis). Instead, instructors appear to prefer incorporating into their assignment sequence multimodal projects that are print-based, such as brochures, advertisements, and collages. We would like to deduce that perhaps some instructors prefer having students compose these print-based mediums because less class time has to be devoted to teaching students about the different technologies needed to create some of the more complicated digital texts (websites, video essays, audio essays), as well the fact that most traditional writing rubric, like the rubric the Ball State Writing Program uses, can generally be applied more straightforwardly to print-based texts.
