This animation gives you a place to play with the long tail of study subject webpages. There are four subjects in the Emerger, with clickable samples of how they are connected into ideas that you can click to bring together to teach or learn.

One of the examples here, of comparisons of how Rembrandt depicted hands, seems like a small subject and simple detail. That is true, yet the comparison connects the greatest museums on the planet. Even young children can learn from the pattern that emerges of similarities and differences in the depictions, and for painting scholars the lessons are sophisticated.

Next week I will be using this Emerger animation that I created a couple of years ago in my talk at Design4Mobile. If you are attending, you might want to check out the Emerger here for a look at what I will be discussing. For mobilists, a crucial criteria of creating handschooling is to deliver the long tail you can play with in the Emerger.
