If you have 20 minutes, take a look at this TED talk on comics. It is interesting how he explains how comics gain their power – channeling all elements through the visual media that they use. It is really interesting how he takes a look at how ancient glyphs worked and how the first CDs didn’t.
I think there are a couple of take home messages from this talk that can be applied to how instructors can make their content better adapted to the new media that will emerge over time… and for those who are still locked into 18th century technology – a way to get into the the 20th (or maybe the 21st) century.
