face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>I think
that the only real issue VCAA had with the text was that one of the chapters in
the book dealing with U3O2 focuses on a static website, rather than a prototype
website for a virtual team. It was felt that teachers who were not fully aware
of the content of the study design would then create a full, static website for
the Outcome, rather than what is actually required.</span></font></p>

face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>On the
Nelson website which has support material for the book (prac SACs, etc) there
is a doc which explains this and reminds teachers of the emphasis on the
prototype for a virtual team. This doc was prepared early in 2007 by the
relevant author after chatting with Paula. Nelson distributed it at all the PDs
and conferences last year as well as the website.</span></font></p>

aware of discussions on the list regarding different opinions of some of the

was in its first year this year, I thought the book was a pretty fair effort,

a ‘third edition’ might be available at some point, if demand
warrants it. </span></font></p>
