Abstract: Model-Based Communication(MBC) is a technology that enhances electronic communication with "conversational props". This technology has been applied to the educational domain, the resulting application is called Media Fusion.Me&a Fusion seeks to support learning by linking video and text messaging to data analysis tools in order to encourage communication and reflection.

Nature documentaries play an important role in high school biology classrooms, yet they deliver a passive and biased account of the behavior of organisms. To engage students in more active problem solving around behavioral topics, we created an interactive video system called Animal Landlord. Part of a week-long curriculum designed to introduce concepts in behavioral ecology, Animal Landlord presents film clips of the Serengeti lion hunting its prey. Students select and annotate video frames with explanations of their significance to the hunt, compare annotations across films, and ultimately generalize a qualitative model of predation behaviors. This paper discusses the motivations for changing the nature of documentary use in the classroom, the ways in which we change the form of traditional narration for pedagogical purposes, and the interactivity that emerges in the social context of the classroom. INTRODUCTIONNew reform efforts in education (e.g., [17]) attempt to move students away from passive textbook and lecture activities by advocating more student-directed activities. Providing students with rich problem settings in which they can engage in iterative hypothesis generation and testing and explanation of causal relationships may result in more productive learning that shallow exposure to a broad base of content [4,23]. Many computerbased learning environments have been developed to provide interactive settings for students to engage in realistic activities.
