This is particularly true for engineers who generally communicate by graphical means. In the fall of 1992, Baartmans and Sorby received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop a course and the course materials for the improvement of 3-D spatial visualization skills for engineering students. In January of 1998, Sorby and Baartmans along with a third PI, Wysocki, received additional funding from the NSF to develop multimedia software and a workbook for the improvement of 3-D spatial visualization skills for engineering students. The multimedia software has been developed in modular form, and there are nine total modules currently available. This article presents the development of the multimedia software and assessment results from its use in special courses designed to improve spatial skills. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

In this writing, I consider the constraints Gunther Kress often applied to “word” and “image,” questioning their temporal and spatial structures.

Much that is written to assist students in composing with or judging the visual aspects of texts ... more Much that is written to assist students in composing with or judging the visual aspects of texts assumes that those visual aspects work as form or theme or emotion or assistance to memory; in such writing the visual is separate from and made to support the words or content or message or information of the text. Through a comparative analysis of two pieces of computer-based interactive multimedia whose words are similar but visual structures different, this article argues that the visual aspects of these texts are idea and assertion, doing the work of content and information. We need then to expand or modify the conceptual categories we use in our teaching about the visual aspects of texts.
