multimodality
Combined communication methods
Multimodality is the use of multiple modes or channels together.
In medicine, multimodality treatment combines approaches like surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
In communication and education, it means engaging several senses or formats—text, images, audio, video—simultaneously: The presentation used multimodality to reach different learning styles.
In AI, multimodal systems process and generate across different media types.
