Methodologically, the research was developed from a qualitative approach applying a systematic review technique considering various research published by journals indexed on platforms such as Scopus, Scielo, Latindex, Redalyc, Dialnet, among others. The findings of the research highlighted that the purpose of multimodal education allows incorporating the fundamentals of andragogy in a face-to-face, blended or distance multimodality. In conclusion, the importance of working on multimodality in the classroom from the foundations of andragogy allows developing the skills of adult learners under an innovative, flexible, creative, technological and autonomous scheme with the capacity to adapt to the dizzying changes that are taking place. occur in the social and work environment.
