I almost forgot to do this...
Anyway, the author of the article describes multimodality as any form of communication or learning appealing to the senses for a response. For example, everything we see, hear, touch, taste, smell can produce a variety of responses.
Multisemiotics is a bit more difficult to explain, it is in direct relation to multimodality, and I surmise it explains that a set of different reactions, responses and answers can be drawn from multimodal experiences, rather than just one definite answer.
Multiliteracies, as I understand them, are alternatives to what some might consider dull, traditional learning methods that one is able to draw from multimodal experiences, such as reading comic books as opposed to novels for a more visual learning experience.

I like how you explained what you thought each of the "multi-words" meant. I was slightly confused after reading the article so you clarified it for me a bit.
