New assessment types that include multimodal and digital elements are increasingly being used to assess university students’ ‘soft skills’ such as communication, as well as their science content knowledge. However, very little is known about how or how well such products assess communicative elements, particularly when these elements are so intricately linked with disciplinary knowledge. This paper presents a novel way of looking at these new digital assessments in science. Using semantic density, a concept from the framework of Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) that conceptualises complexity, we consider how to characterise learners’ communication of complex science in the digital products. Results show that successful products ‘negotiate’ complexity in distinct ways and that language and image work together in the products to build meaning. This approach is a ‘first step’ in characterising discipline-based communication skills through the development of a preliminary conceptual framework that will inform pedagogies and assessment practices surrounding student-generated digital products, in an effort to improve outcomes for science students.

“…In order to verify the effectiveness of the visual analysis method proposed in this paper, this paper defines the technique proposed in the paper as A and then compares with other methods, including method B: multimedia design based on dynamic information model [13]; method C: based on e-learning continuity image analysis model [14]; method D: analysis method based on discriminative visual elements [16]; method E: analysis method based on reactive calculation as a model [20]; method F: based on subjective VoIP quality evaluation model [21]; method G: analysis model based on collision design optimization [23]. Except for method A, the other methods are commonly used visual analysis methods.…”

With the rapid development of Internet technology, the dissemination of information is undergoing rapid changes. The Internet has become an indispensable part of people’s study, work, and life. In the context of the Internet, this paper analyzes the application of multimedia elements in visual communication art design, elaborates the basic concepts, visual features, and design principles of the visual communication art design, and analyzes the multifaceted aspects of multimedia elements. This paper discusses the basic methods and general rules of the application of multimedia elements in visual communication art design under the background of the Internet, as well as the research on the emotional factors and interactions of multimedia elements on people. Brain-like computing is the meaning of imitation brain. First is the structure, then the function, then from the structure design and analysis of the brain, and finally use the brain's thinking ability to solve problems. It summarizes the text, graphic images, and colors in the Internet background. The innovative application of multimedia elements such as page layout and animation in visual communication art design explains the influence of multimedia elements on the overall visual effect in visual communication art design. It explores how visual information can be conveyed more reasonably and effectively. In the context of the Internet, the application of multimedia elements has brought a new possibility for developing visual communication art design, providing a new platform for the traditional visual communication art design.

“…This chapter focuses on self-directed multimodal assessment (SDMA) and addresses the issue of the lack of multimodal assessments with an increasing need for a move away from monomodality in education. Multimodal meaningmaking (Bezemer & Kress 2008) is a reality in education at all levels (Jones et al 2020), and within this process, assessment involves various aspects of meaning-extraction and meaning-making. Furthermore, this chapter intends to gauge how SDMA can contribute to assessing in more equitable and differentiated ways.…”

“…Social semiotics is an approach that focuses on how a community creates meaning through representations within the context of the communication landscape (Fjørtoft 2020). In the same way, a semiotic mode can be considered being a system of choices (Jones et al 2020), so, too, could the mode of assessment be interpreted as a similar system.…”
