Gunter Kress

Gunter Kress was a renowned scholar in the field of education and communication, best known for his work on multimodality—how people communicate using multiple modes like writing, speech, images, and gestures. He argued that meaning isn't just conveyed through words but through a combination of different modes, often integrated in digital and visual environments. His ideas help us understand how we interpret messages in today’s multimedia world and emphasize the importance of designing communication that considers all these modes together, enhancing learning, teaching, and understanding across various contexts.
