Text Technologies weblog, reloaded
Here we go!
We are inhabiting the same weblog space as last year’s delivery of ETEC540, and using much of the same technology. But where last year the weblog only cranked into motion during Module 4, this year we hope that this will be an active component of the course for the duration.
We hope you will find this an ongoing source of useful and provocative stories which illustrate just how rapidly the world of text is changing all around us. We also hope that you will post interesting websites, news stories, resources or thoughts that seem somehow relevant to the changing spaces of reading and writing. (Your account information is available in the prefatory materials of the WebCT environment — if you can’t find it, send Instructor Brian a message.)
In addition to materials that we post ourselves, we also present an ongoing feed of stories from outside sources (most of which are listed on the right-hand sidebar) — just click on the “links & resources” link above. If last year is any indication, there should be no shortage of fascinating goodies flowing through.
Now, let’s get this blogging party started!
