Travelling Media Structures
Creators: name: Bogen, Cornelia
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2019

description: The flow of communication structures across various media formats can be traced back to the printing press culture of early modern Europe, where three distinct media features appeared: disagreement, sensationalism, and self-reference. These features continue to characterize health communication in today’s online media (Bogen 2011; 2013). This study investigates whether these media structures also characterize contemporary health communication in non-Western countries like China, which are undergoing a modernization process. By taking European structures of healthcare communication as a point of reference, I will analyze how Chinese healthcare communication differs from its European counterpart. This paper takes SARS (the first globally emerging infectious disease of the 21st century) as a case study. While the SARS discourse illustrates the existence of these communication structures in the Chinese media and indicates some convergence between East and West, it is clear that these media structures have been adapted to a specifically Chinese cultural program of modernization. Moreover, I will identify ‘non-European’ structures that can be explained by China’s specific cultural background, and explore the processes of transfer and demarcation that occur when media structures are adapted across cultures.

description: Environmental manipulation removes students from their everyday worlds to unfamiliar worlds, to facilitate learning. This article reports that this strategy was effective when applied in a university design unit, using the tactic of immersion in the Second Life online virtual environment. The objective was for teams of students each to design a series of modules for an orbiting space station using supplied data. The changed and futuristic environment led the students to an important but previously unconsidered design decision which they were able to address in novel ways because of, rather than in spite of, the Second Life immersion.
A key performance indicator for journalists: The value of systems thinking for the field
Creators: name: Cokley, John
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Legacy approaches to journalism education, formulated before computing and the Internet, focus on the democratising service outputs of the profession in promoting discussion, public scrutiny, commerce and entertainment. This focus has been at the cost of a reduced emphasis on the process of producing and distributing journalism, the expertise for which has largely been relinquished to engineers. This has made journalists vulnerable to economic variables and reduced their capacity to create and capture value in their markets in an agile manner. However, since the early 2000s, broadband has allowed and then required journalists and journalism educators to regain production and distribution expertise and to include systems thinking in curriculum areas. This article discusses the economic implications of this and the expected impacts on journalism practice and commercial funding. The article concludes that a 'key performance indicator' for journalists is now the ability to optimise where and how a digital file of text, audio, video or other computer code is placed on any relevant computer network.
Programming a Public Mediascape
Creators: name: Amit, Rea
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2019

description: This essay sheds light on how a film distribution apparatus, which aimed to cater to the entire population as one, in effect ushered in a process of collectivization of cultural life experience, as well as media aesthetics, in postwar Japan. While public discourses on nationhood were discouraged in postwar Japan, information and other textual contents about nationhood flowed freely. The national space as a unified location started to re-reform in the mid-1950s. This was after the country regained its sovereignty, and a new medium―television―emerged in the public sphere. However, more than these two factors, I argue that it was the film studio distribution apparatus labeled the “program picture,” which enabled an imaginary reunification of viewership throughout the country. Although not entirely unique to the postwar era, this distribution system was predicated on economic models of vertical integration, which in the midst of several medial transformations, established a dominant cinematic aesthetics that has been equally disseminated throughout the country.

Formation and dissolution of microbubbles on highly-ordered plasmonic nanopillar arrays

Bubble formation from plasmonic heating of nanostructures is of great interest in many applications. In this work, we study experimentally the intrinsic effects of the number of three-dimensional plasmonic nanostructures on the dynamics of microbubbles, largely decoupled from the effects of dissolved air. The formation and dissolution of microbubbles is observed on exciting groups of 1, 4, and 9 nanopillars. Our results show that the power threshold for the bubble formation depends on the number density of the nanopillars in highly-ordered arrays. In the degassed water, both the growth rate and the maximal radius of the plasmonic microbubbles increase with an increase of the illuminated pillar number, due to the heat balance between the heat loss across the bubble and the collective heating generated from the nanopillars. Interestingly, our results show that the bubble dissolution is affected by the spatial arrangement of the underlying nanopillars, due to the pinning effect on the bubble boundary. The bubbles on nanopillar arrays dissolve in a jumping mode with step-wise features on the dissolution curves, prior to a smooth dissolution phase for the bubble pinned by a single pillar. The insight from this work may facilitate the design of nanostructures for efficient energy conversion.

A World Without Norms
Creators: name: Huehls, Mitchum
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2019

description: Postcritical methodologies are reluctant to historicize themselves because historicization is itself one of the suspicious/symptomatic critical modes that they seek to replace. Nevertheless, a proper historicization of the transition from critique to postcritique could lend more legitimacy to postcritique, and would also help us determine if its methodological tools are adequate to our contemporary moment. This essay uses Michel Foucault’s description of the move from a disciplinary to a governmental regime of power to historicize the transition from critique to postcritique. Focusing in particular on the function and power of norms under disciplinarity and governmentality, I argue that our commitment to critique should be determined by the relative normativity of contemporary society.

Does “Critical Composition” (Still) Exist?
Creators: name: Wolf, Jonas
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2019

description: Although the term “critical composition” was paradigmatically used by Nicolaus A. Huber in his text “Kritisches Komponieren” from 1972, one can argue that the early atonality and dodecaphony of the Second Viennese School — and their theorization by Adorno — laid the foundation for composers who perceived their work as a product of critical thinking. Following an Adornian rationale, early atonal composition would be viewed as an immanently negative and aesthetically indrawn last bastion against the historical tendency of the material in Western societies, only pre-conceptually connected to society, whereas many post-war composers turned toward analytical or politically committed forms of composition that introduced music as a means of critically reflecting on the interrelations between musical and social spheres. By outlining the emancipatory potential of John Cage’s music philosophy, I want to counterpoint the conventional notion of “critical composition” as a phenomenon within the post-war avant-garde, which is deeply rooted in the European intellectual tradition of a sovereign subject. Against this background, the critical potentials of contemporary conceptions of composition “as an expanded field of artistic practice encompassing a range of different media and symbolic relationships” (Barrett 2016) can be grasped beyond the ideals of work autonomy and material progress.

description: The article is devoted to the features of the organization of coursework. This form of teaching Russian, as a foreign language in modern teaching conditions is one of the most sought after. Course training has a social purposeful focus, takes into account the interests and needs of students in the language, involves the widespread use of modern teaching techniques and technologies. The practice of coursework in foreign language centers (using the example Center of Russian Language and Culture «Russian Word» in Thessaloniki) allows us to identify the specifics of teaching outside the language environment and formulate requirements for teachers of Russian as a foreign language.

description: The article deals with the issue of effectiveness of school learning from the viewpoint of cognitive processes. The concept of cognitive effectiveness of learning is considered. The phenomena of cognitive inefficiency of school learning are analyzed. The phenomena are: non-preservation of educational knowledge in long-term memory, inability to concentrate on homogeneous educational material for the required period of time, insufficient formation of the competence of reading comprehension. The possible impact of digitalization and gadgetization on these phenomena is marked. The factors that positively and negatively affect the cognitive effectiveness of learning are analyzed. It is concluded that the problem of cognitive efficiency of learning is complex and requires scientific attention, analysis and research.
The eclipse of the universal service obligation: Taking broadband to Australians
Creators: name: Given, Jock
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the success and continuing relevance of the universal service obligation (USO) in delivering voice telephony, basic digital data capability and broadband services to all Australians. The paper outlines the background to the National Broadband Plan being implemented by the Labor Government elected in November 2007. The costs of this plan and other funding programs implemented since 1996 are annualized and compared to the cost of the USO. The paper reveals that the USO has been eclipsed as a policy tool for making basic telecommunications services universally available in Australia, at least for the time being. It survives as a policy mechanism, but is contained to fixed line telephony, payphones and basic digital data capability. Its declared costs have fallen. The proposed national broadband network continues the trend towards using government funding to achieve telecommunications policy goals. This trend was initiated by the previous government with some of the proceeds from privatizing the former government monopoly, Telstra. The national broadband network also supplements this trend with a reversion to a degree of state participation in a facility (a fibre-to-the-node network serving 98 percent of the population) likely to have strong natural monopoly characteristics. The paper considers the USO as just one of many tools available to ensure basic telecommunication services are universally available and the debates about it in Australia less as arguments about where an old concept should go in the future, and more about what a very young concept really means.

description: The article is devoted to researching the notion of concept as the object of transdisciplinary education. Researching the concept as the methodological basis of metadiscipline is determined by its characteristics of invariance and variability in case the concept is viewed as an educational unit. The research hypothesis suggests that concepts (viewed as the subject of the conceptual analysis method), performing as culture components, are apt to create new objects and phenomen. The mentioned synthesis results in the synergistic effect (efficiency growth due to integration) and emergency fusion (when the system acquires features absent in its components). The integrated study lessons entitled '' Factors of Human Physical and Psychic health in Fiction literature ''presumes the reference to works by F. M. Dostoyevsky, V.M. Bekhterev, F. Chizch and others, aiming to demonstrate the impact of Literature on Medical science and Psychology and to introduce contents of the above mentioned disciplines integratively. The application of this research can result in the Formation of the system of transdisciplinary connected lessons (lectures, seminars, workshops) promoting the formation of holistic worldview among young researchers. It may also contribute to molding their personalized conceptual mental space and students’ globally oriented worldview and thinking. The methodology of concept as an educational unit illustrated by the concept of integrating components from different disciplines, and the method of the Conceptual analysis of a studied text can be applied in a teacher's practice during the integrated classes.

description: Our analysis of the teaching process as well as a number of available course books concluded us that their authors are reluctant to include exercises aimed at realising students’ intellectual potential. It is often easy to predict the development of a given communicative activity. Our experience as teachers shows that it is quite unpopular among teachers to engage students in activities, which would encourage them to make use of their creativity and extra-linguistic knowledge. The eclectic approach to language teaching enables us to include in the teaching process diverse exercises stimulating students’ intellectual potential. Students cannot predict how such exercises will develop, which adds variety to the teaching process and prepares students for autonomous thinking. We argue that such activities bring satisfactory results, because they have been met with great interest and enjoyed popularity among many monolingual and multilingual student groups.

description: The phenomenon of poetry attracted the wise men of all the times and peoples. The poetic comprehension of the world is the most complicated spiritual, philosophical, psychological and aesthetic process. Being the object of the study in the large spectrum of humanitarian subjects the phenomenon of poetry succumbs no of one of them separately. This work attempts to consider some theoretical positions of this problem through the prism of legend. In view of pithiness, imagery, layering the genre of legend is amazingly poetic all this helps us to plunge in the secret of the poetic text, to consider some aspects of the poetry itself. The author concludes that the phenomenon of poetry is a poetic magic, in which the language tools together with meaning leaves nobody indifferent and empathizes so strong (catharsis) to purify the reader’s soul.

description: The article is devoted to the study of the category of duration and continuity of verb action in the Russian language system. The category investigated in the article is not actual for the Russian language and has a limited expression in it. However, it is presented in the language on the lexical and grammatical level only for some pairs of verbs having the meaning of movement. The study showed that native Russian speakers learn and understand the category of duration and continuity of verb action only because of the practice of daily speech communication. The fact of expressing this category, which is relevant in Russian only for some verbs, indicates that it is possible to overcome the restriction imposed on the language system in terms of duration and continuity of action. The expression of this category breaks the private logic of language and contradicts the existence of the main grammatical categories of the Russian verb system. Analysis of the language material made it possible to establish the fact of fundamental incomplete expression of the category of duration and continuity of verb action. The author concluded that going beyond the boundaries of existing logic in language contradicts the basic way of expressing verb action, on the one hand; and on the other hand, does not contradict the capabilities of language and does not destroy the language system.

description: Modern studies of bilingualism tend to focus on the neurophysiological processes related to changes in the structure and peculiarities in the functioning of the brains of bilingual people. Particular interest is shown towards studies related to the formation of the brain structures in young children who are raised in multilingual environments. Bilinguals display their advantages most clearly in early childhood when they can be more disciplined, much better at communicating, and more empathetic than their peers. Researchers have proven that communication with native speakers is the decisive factor which enables the successful acquisition of a foreign language. Such early experiences of bilingual communication form a special language zone in children's brains, which makes it much easier to learn foreign languages later on in life. Monitoring of adult bilinguals reveals that they tend to be adapted much better to their social and professional lives. Artificial bilingualism at a later age can reveal personal traits that are related to the acquisition of a particular foreign language. Senior bilinguals have more flexible mental processes, better memory and concentration ability as well as slowed dementia onset.

There are not enough textbooks, reference materials, terminologically elaborated courses based on a methodology of teaching RFL, as well as time to master this discipline, not to mention the weaknesses of the modern methodological school in the field of teaching and educating RFL in Greece. Teachers leading such kind of courses, and students are in great difficulty. The authors believe that the compilation of a bilingual terminological dictionary on the methodology of teaching RFL for Greek philology students will contribute to solving the aforementioned problems concerning the inclusion and use of new terms in a course on the methodology of teaching RFL during the preparation of teachers and specialists in Greek universities. The importance of identifying and forming new terms in Greek for practical use in process of training is emphasized.

Performing Critique
Creators: name: W. Rivers, Joshua
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2019

description: Against the backdrop of a growing concern for the fate of critique in the current era, queer video games such as tranxiety, Dream Daddy and Gone Home have begun to engage players in the process of critically examining their own assumptions and immersing them in a performative critique, particularly as it relates to non-normative lived experiences. Alongside exploring whether these games are ‘merely’ the result of critical game design, such that players are enlisted to perform critique, or if queer play is more than a prescribed behavior, this article will utilize examples from across various video game platforms and genres to demonstrate that whether trying to survive daily life as a trans woman in the beginning stages of transition in tranxiety or exploring the dating life of Maple Bay’s latest resident in Dream Daddy, queer video games serve as a platform through which players are encouraged to perform critique via queer play, that is to say, playing outside of traditional video game and character norms. Embracing a productive nexus of critical reflection and performativity, queer video games demonstrate that critique is well served by participatory media. Critique has entered the digital era and, though transformed, it is alive and well.

Robert Walser’s Topicality and the Descriptive Turn
Creators: name: Gormsen Schmidt, Johanne
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2019

description: The article examines the relation between the sudden rise of public interest in the Swiss writer Robert Walser at the turn of the millennium and the simultaneous emergence of Latourian-inspired methodological discussions in the field of literary studies. In light of the striking commonalities between Walser’s literary practice and Bruno Latour’s research strategy, the article claims that Latour’s project should not just be conceived as a possible source of inspiration to the humanities but as a configuration deeply enmeshed in aesthetic devices from the very outset. Furthermore, the great fascination of Walser among contemporary writers and readers stems from the fact that his writings offer new ways of reading that are exempted from the duty of suspicious interpretation and structure-building efforts, highly relevant to the current deadlock regarding critique in literary studies, but also —owing to Latour’s undoing of the divide between art and science —in academia as such. How we are encouraged to meet a text does not leave unaffected how we tend to meet the world, the attentive and descriptive low-key attitude practiced by Walser potentially boosting Latour’s call for an extensive transformation of matters of fact into matters of concern.

Interaction Between Bubbles and Solids: Three Applications

Subjects: Multiphase behavior
Pore network model
Capilllary effect

description: The main objective of this study is to understand the interactions of solid particles with bubbles in three different situations: interaction between a bubble and solid particles attached at its interface in the liquid layer of a waste tank at the Hanford nuclear reservation; interaction between flowing foam (agglomeration of bubbles) and fine solid particles in porous media; and behavior of bubbles in an unconsolidated porous medium formed by particulates in the sludge layer of Hanford waste tank. A bubble in the midst of a liquid layer can be coated by small solid particles suspended in the liquid phase, giving the bubble an "armor". Numerical simulation shows that this armor can stabilize bubbles against diffusion by reducing the curvature of the gas-liquid interface. Stress between the solid particles caused by the change in interface shape can be very large. But a Vl thermodynamic free-energy calculation shows that a bubble would still not expel solids from the interface to relieve this stress. Coreflood experiments suggest that foam can transport significant amounts of fine particles far enough within a porous medium to cause large reduction in permeability. The amount of fines transported depends on particle properties such as wettability and surface adhesion. Foam appears to have been stabilized in these experiments by PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) and montmorillonite, but destabilized by kaolinite particles. Bubbles trapped within the sludge of a Hanford waste tank expand and contract in response to ambient pressure changes. Numerical calculations based on a one-dimensional pore-network model show that the effective compressibility of bubbles shows hysteresis with pressure increase and decrease. This hysteresis is caused by the unsteady, impulsive movements of interfaces, which are from pore throat to throat during a pressure decrease and from pore body to body during a pressure increase. Fitting of numerical results to actual waste level changes in the tank implies that bubbles are long and the ratio of pore-body radius to pore-throat radius is close to one in the sludge layer; however, capillary effects can not be quantified unambiguously.

A Parallel Multi-Block/Multi-Physics Approach for Multi-Phase Flow in Porous Media

description: The main purpose of this dissertation is to investigate accurate and efficient numerical techniques for simulation of multi-phase/ multi-component flow and transport phenomena in porous media which are of major importance in the petroleum and environmental industries. We propose to emphasize a novel numerical methodology, which is called the multi-block algorithm. This algo-rithm is based on the decomposition of the simulation domain into multiple non-overlapping subdomains (blocks) according to the geological, geometric and physical / chemical properties. One then applies the most suitable grid, numerical scheme and physical model in each subdomain, so that the com-putational cost is reduced and accuracy is preserved. Across the interface of neighboring subdomains, the consistent primary variables and the continuity of the component mass fluxes are imposed in a weak sense. In this dissertation we first discuss the mathematical and numerical for-mulations of physical models, such as the implicit black-oil model, the implicit and IMPES two-phase hydrology models. We then formulate the multi-block black-oil model coupling different grids, which can be non-matching on the interface. In addition, we define the multi-model couplings; in particular, the coupling of the implicit and IMPES schemes for two-phase immiscible flow, and the coupling of the implicit three-phase black-oil model and the implicit two-phase hydrology model. Computational examples are presented to demonstrate the scalability of the multi-block / multi-model simulators over the traditional single-block / single-model simulators. Excellent agreements of the results be-tween these two approaches are shown. Parallel computation issues, especially the MPI (Message Passing Interface) multi-communicator implementation and model-based load balancing strategies for the parallelism of the multi-model problem are also considered. Summary of these results is presented in the last chapter.

title: The development of '-free' and its competition with the suffix '-less': A corpus based study.

description: Standard grammars classify the combinations with –free as non-hyponymic adjective-centred compounds (Huddleston and Pullum 2002:1646). Górska (1994 and 2001) is the first to refer to them as derivatives and discuss their meaning relation with adjectives ending in –less. She proposes a cognitive differentiation between their formations, suggesting that they differ with regards to meaning evaluation and human participation as well as conceptual metaphors they express. She also suggests that the privative adjectives in English are undergoing a change, but since her approach is synchronic, she does not analyse it further. My dissertation aims to investigate that change by providing a systematic examination of dictionary entries and corpora occurrences and explaining how –free evolved in the history of English. It also accounts for the resulting competition between counterparts ending in both –free and –less as well as the possible social and cultural changes that underlie the creation of combinations with –free which tend to be the more recent members of the pairs. It is divided in two parts. The first part is a diachronic investigation of the origins of –free. It explores the change of meaning expressed by its formations and the development of present-day combinations by means of the change of semantic functions (according to Huddleston and Pullum 2002) and grammar patterns (following Pattern Grammar by Francis et al. (1996 and 1998)). Since the results of my examinations suggest that –free might be a result of grammaticalisation, I continue to review traditional parameters (Lehmann 1995) and principles ( Hopper 1991) as well as follow other successful studies of grammaticalisation from adjectives to suffixes in order to analyse the grammaticalisation of –free. The second part focuses on five representative pairs ending in –free and –less, i.e. carefree/careless, child-free/childless, pain-free/painless, sugar-free/sugarless and value-free/valueless. It investigates positive and negative evaluations (according to the positive/negative parameter by Hunston and Thomson 2000) associated with them, their collocates as well as collocate networks that I manually create (following Williams 1998 and Baker 2006) and compares their genre distribution. This study is innovative in providing an account of the origins of the combinations with –free in the history of English and proposing that it is undergoing grammaticalisation and becoming an adjectival suffix. It also investigates the relation of –free with –less, another suffix that developed from an adjective through grammaticalisation.

Chemical flooding simulator

description: A single-well wettability tracer test (SWWTT) was designed with The University of Texas at Austin Chemical Flooding Simulator (UTCHEM) and an in-situ test based on this design was performed in the Sulimar Queen Reservoir. Wettability controls distribution and characteristics of the flow of fluids through a reservoir rock. A sensitivity study was done on the design that involved different relative permeability models. A SWWTT consists of the injection of either a brine slug followed by a brine buffer, or an oil slug followed by an oil buffer or both depending on what is needed to cause two phase flow in the reservoir near the injection well. The slugs contain material balance (non-reactive) tracers and reactive tracers. After injection there is a shut-in time to allow the reactive tracers to react with the water and form product tracers. The same well is produced and the tracer concentrations measured along with phase cuts and optionally bottomhole pressure. The sensitivity study showed that both the water slug and buffer could be eliminated because of high initial water saturation in the Sulimar Queen Reservoir. The reactive tracers used were ethyl formate and propyl formate with their product tracers ethanol and n-propanol, respectively. A core flood experiment was done to prepare for the field test. The in-situ test involved injecting 10 STB of oil preflush, then a 40 STB oil slug with reactive tracers, and a 10 STB oil buffer was injected into the formation. Both the reactive and product tracers were then produced back in the same well and analyzed after they had hydrolyzed by half in the formation. The information obtained from the test was used to estimate the in-situ relative permeabilities of the formation by history matching with UTCHEM. The results of the history match indicated that the reservoir was mixed-wet.
Analytical Solutions for Hydraulic Fracture Diagnosis

Pressure transient analysis

description: This work presents old and new analytical solutions for hydraulic fracture diagnosis. The main body of this work is divided in two parts: Part I presents the main developments, theories and applications of pressure transient testing as a tool for hydraulic fracture diagnosis. Pressure transient analysis is an inverse process and therefore subject to uncertainties and uniqueness problems. Although the analysis of pressure data is nowadays fully computer automated which allows for faster, more accurate and more reliable interpretation and analysis it is found that the margin of error can still be quite large and new alternative methods need to be found in order to improve reliability of hydraulic fracture diagnosis. Part II offers a new method for hydraulic fracture diagnosis. Analytical solutions are developed for tracer response curves of: (1) conservative and/or reactive tracers in single-well push/pull tests, and (2) a conservative tracer that is contained in the fracture only. The hydraulic fracture is treated as linear flow with uniform flux fluid loss. It is found that concentration profiles collected during push/pull tests contain no diagnostic features if dispersion is neglected. It is, however, found that the produced concentration curve of a tracer that is contained within the fracture only, such as broken frac fluid residual compounds, can be used to give a good estimate of fracture area.
A 50/50 Proposition: Public-private partnerships in Australian communications
Creators: name: Given, Jock
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The Australian government's proposed public-private broadband partnership is the latest dramatisation of the constantly shifting roles of the private and public sectors in communications. Over the last century and a half, the sector has been a steady source of new institutional models around the world. This article examines the experience of Australia's main wireless company, AWA, as a private-public partnership for nearly 30 years. Reconstructed as a joint enterprise in 1922 to establish direct wireless telegraph services between Australia and Britain and North America, AWA remained co-owned by the Commonwealth and private shareholders until 1951. Several features of this experience seem relevant to the proposed national broadband partnership: the level of political support for the structure; the implications of changes in the use of wireless technology over the life of the investment; the management of market power; financial performance; and the duration of the arrangement.

description: Seeking papers for the media stream at the conference and articles for this issue of Media International Australia, our aim was to examine contemporary media policy issues that benefited from some kind of historical analysis. Rather than starting with history, confident that it served up powerful and useful lessons, the idea was to begin with the current policy challenges and see whether history helped. Unsurprisingly, most authors found it did---though not always, and for different reasons.

VIRTUAL CLASSROOM

description: The present article discusses that in a traditional classroom the “bath” method is achieved through using all kinds of objects, games, and icebreakers that the teacher has prepared before class and uses throughout the lesson. Good examples are: a ball or other types of classroom materials (pens, pencils of different colors and dimensions, books, notebooks, sheets, cards, posters, and letters of the alphabet) in the foreign language that students use in their exercises and tasks. All of this requires hours of preparation, not to mention that you have to haul all of these items with you to every class… For those of us who have performed these types of activities in our classes we know just how tiring it can be. The present article outlines approaches to researching language learning in on-line environments and survey research that has been conducted to date. Is it worthwhile to use the Internet in Language teaching? What is a virtual classroom? What is its purpose? How long have you used virtual classrooms at the university? How has your experience been with the implementation of virtual classrooms? What do you do in the virtual classroom as the teacher? What activities do you propose and what tools do you use the most? What tools from the virtual classroom do you usually not use? Have you had any sort of limitations or difficulties to design or use virtual classrooms? How have you overcome the aforementioned difficulties? From our personal view, how effective is the use of virtual classrooms as a complement to classes in a physical space? We can use several approaches to learn about such issues. One is to talk to fellow teachers. Another is to try things out in the classroom and see how they work. In addition, another is to conduct and share research.
