Margith's String Ideas.

String theory in education and distance learning is about the concept of "strings" in the continuous and separated sense of the rope, and the representation that the modulus (which is the amplitude) is the indicator of the effectiveness of the nature of the educational format or context which we are considering in the particular example. The amplitude of the string can vary, much like the sound waves and the larger the amplitude, the louder the sound is; in this lies the idea that the more effective the Instructor, the larger the amplitude of the string. The continuity of the string represents the cohesiveness of the course, or the number of students in the class.

I would have to play with the idea that if one were to cause a vibrational resonance with a string or a rope, and physically cause the string to have varying amplitudes, the dispersion of the energy would have to vary depending upon the material with which the string or rope is made. There are materials were the resonance is built into the characteristric of the material, and therefore the dissipation of the waves would take longer to occur. Symbolically, we can perhaps represent this as the energetics of a class section and use the physical notations and characteristics of string physics and dynamics to discuss the energetics and characteristics of the class.
