Website Project
aims to be a

communication studies through the work of Canadian theorist

engaging sections: M, Probe, Explorations, and Collide-Oscope.
M provides a brief history of McLuhan's life and work as
well as a bibliography. Probe, an interactive tutorial
section, contains four modules introducing the ideas and
concepts of the "Toronto School" of communication studies.

modules. Collide-Oscope, which is currently in development,
will be an educational game, teaching students about
McLuhan's four laws of media.
