=Welcome to the Cornucopia of Multimodal Goodness=

= = //A repository of resources for multimodal composition, especially digital iterations thereof. Although scholars such as Kress and Jewett argue there is no such thing as "monomodal communication," the various resources are broken up by dominant mode for the sake of usability. This is just an intro with a random assortment; use the menu on the left sidebar or click on the bottom link in each section to access more resources. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list--no mobile apps are included--but if you know a helpful resource that isn't listed, feel free to contact me and I'll gladly add it!//
