Multimodal Society
using a verity of means to accomplish a task
Multimodality is an inter-disciplinary approach that understands communication and representation to be more than about language. It has been developed over the past decade to systematically address much-debated questions about changes in society, for instance in relation to new media and technologies. Multimodal approaches have provided concepts, methods and a framework for the collection and analysis of visual, aural, embodied, and spatial aspects of interaction and environments, and the relationships between these.

Wikis
an application where parties can edit on to previous work
A collaborative Web site comprises the perpetual collective work of many authors. Similar to a blog in structure and logic, a wiki allows anyone to edit, delete or modify content that has been placed on the Web site using a browser interface, including the work of previous authors. In contrast, a blog, typically authored by an individual, does not allow visitors to change the original posted material, only add comments to the original content.
The term wiki refers to either the Web site or the software used to create the site.
Wiki wiki means "quick" in Hawaiian. The first wiki was created by Ward Cunnigham in 1995.

coming up with unique work of your own

Intellectual contributions from others must be consistently and responsibly acknowledged. Academic work completed in any other way is fraudulent.
