VOD has recently undergone a major upgrade and expansion, including a
more user-friendly design and a growing collection of lesson plans for
Grade 8-12 teachers.  Originally funded by a grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities, VOD features authenticated speech texts,
audio/visual materials, critical essays, and a variety of other teaching
resources.  As a pioneering digital humanities site, VOD has been
recognized by EDSITEment (http://edsitement.neh.gov/) as among the best
educational resources on the web, and it now attracts more than 1000
visitors daily.  VOD is co-directed by J. Michael Hogan, the Edwin Erle
Sparks Professor of Rhetoric at Penn State University, and Shawn J.
Parry-Giles, professor of communication studies and director of the
Center for Political Communication and Civic Leadership at the
University of Maryland.
