Exploring Learning through Visual, Actional and Linguistic Communication: The Multimodal Environment of a Science Classroom.
Jewitt, Carey; Kress, Gunther; Ogborn, Jon; Charalampos, Tsatsarelis
Educational Review, v53 n1 p5-18 Feb 2001

It demonstrates that learning is a process of selection, adaptation, and transformation of information across communication systems. (Author/SK)
