Interactive and Non-Linear Narrative: Theory and Practice, Spring 2004 Syllabus Course Description Students will develop digital and non-digital collaborative projects that explore the complex relationships of narrative and interactivity in a hands-on, workshop format. Goal of this course is to expand our understanding of narrative and refine our skills in the critical analysis of interactive formats through a combination of project development, readings on the theory and practice of non-linear/interactive narrative, and close analysis of digital and non-digital narratives. Requirements Attendance and Participation It is important that you take actively part in the discussions in class. Your participation will shape your understanding of interactive and non-linear narratives and your contributions will be vital to the whole group. Should you be unable to come to class contact me ahead of time so that we can make appropriate arrangements. Summaries/Presentations You are responsible for short summaries on your readings (as defined by the assignments) and one presentation in class.

Rich, wonderful stories, with many voices and interpretations, many possibilities and outcomes. Stories to be told, seen, programmed. Stories to be shared and to be shaped. Sitting around a campfire, clicking on a link, capturing on film, beating the boss, improvising on stage, being part of life. Don't we all have stories to tell? This course has been offered since 1992. Formerly entitled "Structure and Interpretation of Non-linear and Interactive Narrative", it examines the potential for dynamic narrative in traditional media like novels and films and as well as in computer-based stories and games. The course focuses on the creation of electronic stories and games using simple authoring systems and multimedia software tools. Students present and constructively critique one another's work in progress in a workshop setting aimed at expanding the representational powers of a new creative medium. Class is a mix of lectures and workshop discussion of student projects, with emphasis upon workshop discussion of assignments leading up to your final projects. Class will cover a range of topics drawn from the following: hypertext, interactive cinema, games, installation art, and soundscapes.

WWP The Texts RWO Forewords Foreword by Susanne Woods Foreword by Joanne Leedom-Ackerman Renaissance Women Online: New Knowledge, New Questions Susanne Woods, Chair of the Executive Committee Women Writers Project Advisory Board Renaissance Women Online (RWO) invites students and scholars around the world to join in the process of assessing new knowledgethe texts of early women writers, long in the shadow of a masculine cultural hegemonyand to help us find the new questions we must learn to ask in order to understand and integrate the rapid intellectual changes provoked by the electronic revolution. Print changed world culture forever. Electronic encoding and communication are changing it again. Works by early modern women have a special place in this cascading world, not only because the Brown University Women Writers Project is putting hundreds of complete and fully encoded texts onto the computer. The study of these women is also a very useful tool for observing a major shift in how European-based culture understands its traditions and applies them to constructing ideas of self and community. The traditional suppression or ignoring of the many texts representing the voices of women who lived between 1500 and 1700 provides us with an interesting oddity: new knowledge about a period and culture already long and deeply studied. Musophilus , 1601, ll. 957-62), he may have envisioned something like the nineteenth-century empire and Dickens, but he could not possibly have envisioned an international Text Encoding Initiative or Robert Coover's interactive novels. What was in his time the dawn of a fully global mercantilism is now the apotheosis of international capitalism, frought with paradoxes of control and access as information and resources travelliterallyat the speed of light.

The Rereading/Rewriting Process: Theory and Collaborative, On-line Pedagogy Chapter in Intertexts: Reading Pedagogy in College Writing Classrooms , Marguerite Helmers, editor . Lawrence Erlbaum, 2002. Please respect the rights of the authors. Marcel Cornis-Pope and Ann Woodlief Virginia Commonwealth University, Fall 2000 To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any exercise which the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to this object. Books must be read as deliberately and reservedly as they were written. [. . .]Yet this only is reading, in a high sense, not that which lulls us as a luxury and suffers the nobler faculties to sleep the while, but what we have to stand on tip-toe to read and devote our most alert and wakeful hours to.

TKI Hot Topic for 21 March 2002 ICT for reading and writing One of the major benefits of integrating ICT into classroom programmes is the interactive nature of the Internet. Interactive technology engages learners, allows classrooms to make connections across geographical and cultural boundaries, and often adds an extra visual or audio stimulus to enhance the learning process. This Hot Topic explores how interactive sites on the Internet can be used to encourage students to engage in reading and writing. We focus on three types of interactive activities: online pick-a-path and continuous stories online publishing book backchats Pick-a-path and continuous stories Pick-a-path You are on a newspaper run in a strange neighbourhood when a storm comes from nowhere. Do you take your chances in the rain and try to get home, or do you decide to sit out the storm in the abandoned house you just passed? Pick-a-path stories have long been used as teaching and learning materials to involve students in literature and encourage them to read. When read aloud, not only do pick-a-path stories exercise reasoning, comprehension, and memory, but they also involve the whole class in an enjoyable collaborative activity.

Interactive Stories: Writing Public Literature in an Evolving Internet Environment Judy Malloy El Sobrante, CA Email: jmalloy@well.com in press for Narrative Dramatologies Springer Verlag, edited by Heide Hageboelling INVOLVING THE AUDIENCE - STRATEGIES AND MODES OF INTERACTIVE DRAMATURGY In the rapidly changing Internet environment, which has evolved in the past decade from small text-based experimental community to commercially driven graphic interfaced media, writers of electronic literature must adapt not only to the intertwined processes of writing and interface (how the writer shapes the user's communication with the work) but also to radical changes in the audience and environment. Written (usually) in seclusion, a print work is then published and distributed to readers whose contact with either the author or the author's process is traditionally minimal. In contrast, Internet-based electronic narrative is potentially a public literature which may integrally involve the reader/user/participant in its creation and use. ("Participants", "users" the changed nature of the relationship between writer and reader is reflected in the vocabulary.) How the participant is involved, the extent of audience involvement in the process, varies. The writer may be using the Internet as a public storytelling forum; and/or the writer may be offering the reader a multiplicity of choices; and/or the writer may be offering the audience the opportunity to be co-creators of the work. Sometimes (as they are in the sections of this paper) these strategies are intertwined.

56. Online Collaborative Projects There are many types of online collaborative projects across all grade levels and Reading and writing projects involve students in sharing book reviews, http://eduscapes.com/tap/topic1c.htm

Online Collaborative Projects: Selecting Projects There are many types of online collaborative projects across all grade levels and content areas. Select an Internet-based collaborative project. Ask yourself the following questions: As you select a project, ask yourself. Why is this project important? What does this project do that can't be done in a traditional classroom? How does this project provide a unique experience for my students? Global connections are one of the best examples of providing a unique experience. Read Rural Washington Students Connect With The World from Edutopia. Learn about how these children learned about living in a global community. Project Size Is the project between teachers, classes, small groups, or individuals? Will many or a few schools be involved? Does the project size meet your needs? Is the project "doable"? The Teeth Project is a small project that involves student sharing information about their teeth and teacher using email to communicate this information.
