Class March 1 + what to do for next class

We "played through" the hypertexts you created. Wow. What great work you did! Innovative, stretching the boundaries of what hypertexts do, fun! For those of you who were not in class - you will have an opportunity to present your work on Wednesday.

We concluded class by talking over you next project = a non-hypertext work of digital literature. That leaves a lot to choose from - and hopefully reading through the next series of works will give you some ideas. We will also spend some time exploring/talking about what you can do with software that is readily available as a free download (Audacity, digital story software, etc) or in the "regular" software suites that come with most computers (like powerpoint). The assignment sheet for Project 2 is available on the last post of this blog.

The idea for Project 2 is to give you another chance to explore - experiment with ideas + digital lit forms. The one requirement not stated on the sheet is that you do something VERY DIFFERENT from what you did for Project 1. The point is to get a range of experiences under your belt - so when you work on your final project - you have some experiences to draw from.

For Wednesday we will finish up presentations on Project 1, think some more about Project 2, and talk about Regime Change, and Faith - two more works from ELV1 collection.

Blog 8: How are Regime Change & Faith similar/different to works we have read so far? What new dimensions for experience/interpretation do they add to readers' experience of digital literature?
