Dear CarrieLynn I don't know if it can help, but there is a study published by one of my PhD students which can be related to this topic.

I'm thinking about creating a course on multiplatform communicating, or the
rhetoric of the interface. The goal would be to help students understand how
the
way you engage with the media technology impacts your understanding of the information being communicated, and what it says about who the intended
users
are. The idea would be for them to develop multiplatform communication
projects,
so understanding the role of the interface in content creation and dissemination. So it could draw in literature from various fields:
psychology of
perception, film studies, HCI, social informatics, etc. If anyone has any
ideas
for good literature, then I would be glad to hear it. CarrieLynn D. Reinhard, PhD Virtual Worlds Research Group http://worlds.ruc.dk/ Roskilde University Department of Communication, Business, and Information Technologies Building 43.3 Kommunikationsvej 1 DK-4000 Roskilde mbl: + 2280 5128
