In the modern day we live in, there are lots of ways where people can find their preferred modality to learn. But the most notable site that is really intriguing to explore is the domain of Video Games. Stereotypically, gaming is said to be a waste of time that hinders academic and professional development. But in reality, gaming can improve cognitive skills, multi-tasking and problem-solving skills. "Gamer" demographic is actually diverse and they are often highly educated. If we focus on video games a s a site of multimodal communication, it offers an interesting look at how modern "literacy" has improved.

In the gamer's perspective, the screen is not a page to just stare at, but it is a dynamic environment to be explored. In every game, story-based or multiplayer, the player is immersed in a constant stream of information that bypasses the traditional sentence structures. These games composed of spatial, aural, visual and haptic modes that further engross the player into the game. These games offers the players with pattern recognition skill, reduced cognitive load and cross-cultural communication.

On this basis, gaming shifts the definition of "literacy" from passive decoding to active synthesis. For a modern day student, gaming is a sophisticated literacy practice. They are managing resources, navigating maps, learning the lore and communicating through voice chat together with other players. Recognizing this as a valid site of meaning-making, validates our learner's digital fluency and helps them apply those skills to their daily life. By incorporating gaming into learning, the learners will not only enjoy learning but they will also create meaningful learning.
