Abstract
Digital, multimodal literacy is important for general-writing studies to address. Students are expected to be literate in digital, multimodalities in many upper level courses, and in future careers. However, there is not a priority to teach this in most general university courses. Teaching vocabulary and reflection is a focus in this research, as well as a discussion on one digital, multimodal assignment that focuses on prewriting.
