Multimodal texts
A composite or multimodal text is a text in which several modalities are used to convey a message.
Illustrated books have existed since monks wrote and drew pages by hand. Nowadays, this is the subject of research and academic theories, and the concept of composite texts is a natural part of the Norwegian "Knowledge Promise" that was introduced in primary schools in 2006. Another word for composite texts is multimodal texts.
