ABSTRACT
In an enquiry-based first year team project, students are encouraged to develop their social skills through both non-technical and technical activities which, over the course of the year, increase in complexity, and have higher demands in terms of interaction. During a short period of tutor absence, two virtual chat sessions were conducted to maintain continuity in the tutorial programme. The interactions were analysed by examining a chat log, which showed a work ethic similar to that usually encountered in a traditional tutorial. Potential uses of chat software are then considered for other areas of this course unit.

Multimodal augmented reality: the norm rather than the exception
MVAR '16: Proceedings of the 2016 workshop on Multimodal Virtual and Augmented RealityAugmented reality (AR) is commonly seen as a technology that overlays virtual imagery onto a participant's view of the world. In line with this, most AR research is focused on what we see. In this paper, we challenge this focus on vision and make a case ...
