Abstract

In the topic study group on probability at ICME 11 a variety of ideas on probability education were presented. In an international, collaborative, electronically supported project after the conference, many of these papers have been developed much further, incorporating electronic techniques. Following McLuhan, the medium of research has influenced the message (massage) of the results and–not surprisingly–the research has changed its character during this process. This presentation comments on future possibilities of electronic communication. This will enable developments relevant for other areas of research too. Hyperlinks are included.
