To see really exciting new multimedia literacy try out Inanimate Alice. http://www.inanimatealice.com And its a free online resource! More an interactive piece of fiction than a traditional game, Inanimate Alice: Episode 4 continues the story of the young game animator as she leaves her home in Russia and travels abroad. Inanimate Alice serves as both entertainment and a peek into the future of literature as a fusion of multimedia technologies. The haunting images and accompanying music and text weave a remarkably gripping tale that must be experienced to be believed. And better still for schools there is a piece of software now available that allows learners to create their own stories. Valuable for all forms of literacy and this is being sold as a perpetual site licence for schools at £99 ! http://www.istori.es

Hi chris, inanimate alice is great! your cut up loops as soundtrack material are superb. I like the track up here which is more structured in a conventional sense. But then I would...especially after the "pseudo" 5.1 audio sensation I presented with bob on wednesday at the IOCT. ;-) You're a man of many talents. regards, Shekhar (www.juicyaudio.com & www.myspace.com/thek2plan)
