Fall 2009
Writing with New Media 1 This class is part of a new two-course sequence. The first term explores the possibilities of hypertext for academic writing. The course explores the tension between writing as argument and writing as participating in professional and academic conversation (knowledge production). We create annotated bibliographies, reviews of scholarly literature, and academic projects that aim to make a modest original contribution to the scholarly conversation, typically by providing original research, proposing a new solution, or creating a new communications tool. We develop and present all of this research-driven academic writing hypertextually, developing printable versions in the form of a traditional research essay. These printable versions are occasions for significant revision of the language of the hypertext: the linear and nonlinear writing typically contribute meaningfully to each other.

Spring 2010
Writing with New Media 2 looks beyond hypertext to explore the prospects of a wide variety of new media technologies for the digital composition of academic writing. We'll begin by remixing Cory Doctorow's novel Little Brother in machinima (animated film) shot in the Second Life virtual community, a project we first tried last year in English 138 (about ten films are available on this YouTube playlist). We'll also make use of new media for assisted creativity, such as the Bitstrips comic builder, the Xtranormal text-to-video animator, and the Glogster poster maker. We're also going to try a unique peer-response and collaboration tool specifically designed for digital composition, Voicethread.

Winter 2010
English 138 Internet Culture Major issues of the digital public sphere, especially the rising interest in electronically-mediated civic engagement and collaborative cultural production. We'll study the electronic mediation of identity, culture, and social action. Participants will play social impact electronic games, interact in virtual communities, use digital tools for collaboration and assisted creativity, and learn some of the major uses, features, and forms of writing for electronic media.
