The goal of this review is to understand how multimodality can influence the formation of human subjectivity in the context of digital communication technologies. Specifically, the article aims to answer three questions: 1) How can multimodality play a role in the construction of digital subjectivity in digital environments? 2) What are overlapping areas of concepts and studies on multimodality and digital subjectivity? and 3) What might be gaps of studies found in this literature review? The answers to these questions can fruitfully lead to further research in these areas and other related fields.

Linking reading activities effectively in a writing class is a challenge for many teachers. For them, e-Learning can be used as a sound alternative. This paper recounts a one semester experience using an ATutor online forum to integrate reading into an academic writing class of third-year university students in the academic year 2010. Through the ATutor online forum, students discussed a narrow range of topics based on reading articles assigned in class. In this way, the students had an opportunity to practice their critical thinking skill by analyzing the purpose, audience and organization of the reading texts, so as to help them understand more about the elements of writing and apply what they have learned in their own writing.

The study aimed to: 1) examine how Thai university students perceived collaborative feedback activities when conducted in a blended learning environment; and 2) compare students’ perceptions toward collaborative feedback through face- to-face and online interactions. The participants were 24 English minors and the instruments used were a questionnaire and the students’ reflections. The reliability of the questionnaire was 0.81. The results revealed that the informants had high positive perceptions toward collaborative feedback activities both through face-to-face and online interactions. There was no significant difference between the two modes of delivery. The data obtained from the students’ reflections also revealed that the informants preferred face-to-face interactions (41.67%) or both modes (45.83%). Only a few students (12.50%) preferred collaborative feedback via the online mode.
