1) Custom system for presentation of art history digital slides
Researchers thought main concern would be resolution of image and colour integrity, but instructors cared far more about the size of the image and that it look just like what they were accustomed to with two analog projectors.

2) Factors affecting student perception of course quality in technology enhanced courses:
peer interaction - moderate positive correlation,
feedback from instructor - strong positive correlation,
course structure and design as presented in course material - strong positive correlation
technical support - weak positive correlation

3) Perceptions of early adapters of communications tools in course management systems:
- ability for students or instructors to flag important or otherwise noteworthy posts in asynchronous discussion
- make each contributor and each thread more visually distinct
- instructors wanted to brand look and feel

4) Getting Beyond Centralized Technologies:
- centralized, all-things-to-all-users approach is not viable because it is either overwhelming the primary mandate of educational institution, or is resisted by growing portion of student users
- trend towards mash-up of materials rather than conscious aggregation of learning objects; "sense-making" still requires human intervention
- skills and knowledge around access to information is at least as important as the knowledge itself in situation of rapid change
- ability to jointly interact with features of filtered or represented data becoming more important than mastery of raw data itself.

5) Two non-English cultures learning about each other's culture in English using 3-D environments:
project created 3d models of landmark or typical buildings from L2 culture. L1 students traversed these environments and posted comments to wiki for peer review. Result was collaboratively produced annotated 3-D object. Goal was to focus on cultural nuances and distinctions between two non-English cultures communicating in English

6) Tradeoffs in Multi-point video conferencing:
Higher-def, wide aspect ratio images mean less camera work (and thus less technology instrusion), however implication is huge bandwidth. Attempts to reduce bandwidth by going to processing hub and spoke required lossy compression and latency of 1 second which is OK for presentation, but not acceptable for interactive conferencing. Conclusion is that IP networks currently available not up to video conferencing.

7) Comparison of Email and Chat in Second Language learning:
- Email had fewer, longer posts which tended to stay on topic more than was observed for chat postings.
- With both technologies, threads generally came back on topic
- Each technology has its place in a program depending on whether emphasis is social interaction or interaction with content.
