Abstract
We have chosen two videoconferencing studies which were published a decade apart, a period during which the technology that they reported changed radically. One involved a technician-controlled camera (Goodfellow et al., 1996) and the other learner-controlled webcams (O’Dowd, 2006a, 2006b). In the decade that separates them, some degree of what Bax (2003: 23) calls normalisation (the stage when the technology becomes invisible, embedded in everyday practice and hence ‘normalised’) has occurred and the videoconferencing tools have become more flexible.
