A World of Communication

1999
Introduction We live in a world of communication, which is the sharing of information and entertainment by speaking, writing and various other methods. Communication is expanding everyday and without it we would be isolated. Our civilization has made a lot of progress due to the development of a wide range of communication means. The mass media govern our lives, and we learn a lot by listening to the radio, television and reading the daily news. Answering our telephone and our letters, moving our hands, talking are all examples of our personal interaction with others. The people we meet, and the knowledge we share makes us different human beings. At home, in the school, in the business and industry and in world affairs we always have to face the demands of a fast running world revolving around the magic word communication. This web site is meant to help you realise how vast the field of communication is and help you to find answers to all your question related to that subject. We will not only answer your questions but also help you to get a good knowledge of its history, its development, its growing importance as well as its future in our world and in our lives. Feel free to write to us if you have any comments or queries.

Cryptology: The Science of Concealing

1999
Our web site was designed to be a general reference site for all things realating to cryptology. To make our site stand out from the many web sites and books that cover the methodology of cryptology, we focused on the historical, and sometimes personal, aspects of our subject. We find that these interesting anecdotes make cryptology seem far more real, and they often show how important cryptology has been in the some of the most important events of the world. In addition, we offer a different cryptogram after each lesson, so the user can get some experience in cracking codes. As the user completes more of the cryptograms, they receive AgentPoints, and the top 7 \"agents\" are listed on our front page. There is a discussion board so users can argue online debates, or give each other hints on the cryptograms. The web site has plenty of links for more detailed information, and we plan on adding a new feature to our web site every two weeks devoted to new advancements in cryptology or a particularly important cryptologit.

See What I Say: Connecting the Hearing with the Hearing Impaired

1999
This project addresses a number of important life long learning goals Washington State's Commission on Student Learning defines communication as "a process by which we assign and convey meaning in an attempt to create shared understanding. This process requires a vast repertoire of skills in intrapersonal and interpersonal processing, listening, observing, speaking, questioning, analyzing, and evaluating. Use of these processes is developmental and transfers to all areas of life: home, school, community, work, and beyond. It is through communication that collaboration and cooperation occurs." It is with this focus we chose to develop this cyber connection between the hearing and hearing impaired students. We also hope to broaden our understanding and appreciation for diversity while we jointly pursue these activities.
