Introduction: Before class, please read the brief article I
have placed in your mailboxes, "Response: Mapping the Emergent
Structures of Hypertext" and visit my graphic representation of
"The Problem Space of Literacy
Studies." These two resources suggest some general ways to
think about literacy in general and electronic literacy in particular.
To balance those abstract constructions, we will also consider some
specific literate artifacts and practices that exemplify issues related
to the evolution and diversity of the artifacts, interfaces, institutions,
and cultural practics of literacy. If you have a chance before class,
browse the following sites:
Illuminating the New Millenium:
The Saint John's Bible
The Bible in English
Browse RSV
and KJV Bibles in Frames
