What's new and remarkable in online educational technologies?

This document serves as a forum for posting links to notable examples of the "digital signal" in use. Teachers, students, scholars, and institutions worldwide are using the World Wide Web for communication, for dissemination of scholarly work, and for th e mounting of interactive educational activities and courses. Many of these online materials are multimedia documents--documents that meld text, graphics, sound, and even video in a symbiotic and synergistic relationship. These multimedia documents are a primary focus of the theorizing and discussion taking place among Vision 2010 participants. As such, we have created this Web page as both a living museum for mounting displays of the subject we are studying and as a forum for sharing commendable and c utting-edge examples of scholarly communication. We will share links to such Web sites as we discover them, and we hope you will submit a link or two or your own from time to time with a brief description of the site. We will review sites and will post links to exemplary pages.
