Abstract
This paper is part of a programme of research on the future of educational design – working on better methods, tools and spaces for design teams. The current paper comes from a study of multimodal communication within small educational design teams. The paper reports a microanalysis of a design team meeting in which the participants reached shared understanding while discussing complex ideas using a range of communicative modes. Gestures played an important coordinating role in this communication process and they are the focus of the paper. Some subtle aspects of intra-team communication may be taken for granted in face-to-face settings and then prove problematic when technological links fail to support a key communications modality.
