Adsanatham et. al detail how to create a digital and multimodal programs. They state, “There are many essential component s for sustaining a program-wide focus on multimodal pedagogy: preparing and supporting instructors, developing curriculum, securing and maintaining material and administrative resources, and conducting program-wide assessment” (302). They also explain that “we needed to connect with stakeholders across campus…This meant, however, that in persuading stakeholders to help us develop digital classrooms and pedagogy, we had to reassure them that we were not diluting the intellectual focus of our writing classes. To do this, we emphasized the ways in which digital technologies would help expand the possibilities for teaching and learning” (285). “The biggest and most important changes, however, came in our instructor preparation programs. We wanted to ensure that we did not merely ‘add on’ digital classrooms but fully integrated and supported a digital pedagogy” (287).“An effective way to integrate multimodality and digital media in our compositions classrooms is to meet students where many of them are already using digital media technology” (291).
