Authors can treat technology in a number of roles as it facilitates virtual team-work. The most obvious is to investigate and overcome problems related to the distance between participants. This is tacitly to acknowledge faceto-face as the optimum medium for learning and teaching. Hashimoto and Lehu (Chapter 10) describe a video conference intervention with the rooms arranged to create the impression that the separated participants were just at either end of the same space. With sufficient use, the students seemed to see it this way. Future-gazing along this aspiration, technology may soon deliver (as teleporter Dr Mowry says) easier ways to “... forget the fact that you’re in different rooms.” What gets lost in the struggle to reach that level of co-presence, in British Journal of Educational Technology Vol 40 No 4 2009 771–784
