MAWSIG: A journey through time: redesigning materials for the 21st century

In this practical talk based on recent personal experience, I consider the various challenges involved in redesigning  and updating materials, focusing principally on the challenges of designing online interactive materials. Using examples from a number of books I will outline a framework that teachers can use to develop online interaction.
