Dear all Thanks so much for such comprehensive replies. I am scurrying to read all the recommended sources and indeed many of your organisation's websites have proved interesting to look at also. I would like to thank you all individually but I don't want to take up to much of your eyeballs. So to answer the specific questions In response to Kremena Gotcheva "Can you give me a somewhat better idea on what Virtual Communications includes. If it is more of a 'soft skills' discipline, you probably will be happy to leave details to the experts and only know in general how it works" This particular MA is more 'soft skills' however it is operating on the premise that we will need to engage in educated conversations with developers, designers etc if we are to create truly effective communication systems. Therefore we are learning the basics of coding, programming and designing along with high level communication strategy etc. I myself have found that taking the time to actually learn how a website needs to be constructed to make it accessible, has made my case for accessibility stronger when presenting to the business (and impressed some reluctant developers, a little weary with the business units) So I guess yes, a basic understanding is what I need and am getting from reading all the posts and recommended resources :) As I am interested in the impact on business communications it would be foolish to try and evaluate this without some understanding of the impactor! I will email you my report when completed and to anyone else interested. It is only meant to be 1000 words so I will have to be extremely efficient in my writing. In response to Andrew Cunningham "since you're a RMIT student (I guess the dreaded 108 building?)" No I got lucky - I'm in the creative media area. and to Andrea Vine Thank you thank you for the i18n explanation - makes things much clearer. :) I appreciate everyone's patience with my lack of discussion board experience. Kind Regards Emma Gibson
