PEPPERDINE UNIVERSITY
In past years, Bill Moseley had to communicate the old-fashioned way with his distance-learning class: text-based chat over the Internet. This year, his 19 graduate students convene on sandy Malibu Island, sometimes in a treehouse, sometimes in a coffee shop. Working in group projects from home bases in Arizona or Ohio, students in his education technology class create multimedia presentations. For an assignment inspired by Daniel Pink's book on steps to excellence, A Whole New Mind, a wraparound wall immerses viewers in images of the students' avatars.
