Don Jackson teaches "the art of sequential storytelling" as a constructivist pedagogical method to help students develop higher-order thinking skills. His "Cognitive Comics" approach grew from Jackson's original enterprise of developing interactive multi-media comics for promoting literacy in teaching English comprehension.

This is an amazing website! To see the theory of facial expression and emotion described by Scott McCloud (which inspired this project), see pp. 80-101 of Making Comics. Description: Grimace is a free Flash-based web component which displays emotions through facial expressions of a comic-like face. It is based on the idea that the face can serve as an accurate representative of emotional information, which is difficult to express verbally. The face is simple yet highly expressive and can represent subtle emotional changes through arbitrary blending of 6 basic emotions. The design is derived from the book Making Comics by Scott McCloud. Possible applications include experimental research settings and the augmentation of textual descriptions on websites with emotional information.
