New Medias help to visualize facts, concepts, process and procedure precisely. It is human mind tendency to mean anything into images. And digital media fulfill the requirement of human mind for images meaning by weaving images, videos and syncing audio with them.

Multimodal Meaning and Digital Media

Now a days each digitally organized learning modules uses multimodal meaning concept. Learning happens in the digital environment. Digitally sound modules consist of animated videos, animated text, images, and background audios. Here is an example of digitally sound modules that represent multimodal meaning concept. You can go through the below link to have an experience of multimodal meaning through digital media learning. This example have animated video of rhyme for preprimary level.
