That's fantastic! And it's in Education. In an arts program I'm sure this kind of approach would be well accepted but it's great to see a multi-modal format being used in another subject area. I'm studying the mechanics of communication in virtual environments and I've put serious thought into using different communication modes (IM, spatial 3-D chat etc) to illustrate and explain some of my theories. It's a tough battle convincing folks that it's still rigorous. Kudos to Dr. Vaughan for paving the way! On 2/21/07, Samita Nandy <samitanandy@gmail.com> wrote:
