Selected artifacts from my academic past.
A short presentation given to the staff of the Computers in Composition and Literature program at the Ohio State University (4/5/99). Outlines my involvement with the Georgia Online Teaching Initiative and reflects on our use of an educational MOO for a distance learning version of freshman composition. (See also my course website for that class.)
A collection materials for the Doctoral Consortium of the Hypertext 2000 conference, which conducted largely electronically in the month preceding the actual conference in San Antonio (May 29-June 2). Documents include my position statement, links to reviews by the other participants, and my response to those reviews.
Delivered at Hypertext 01 in Aarhus, Denmark (8/16/01), this talk examined the British "web drama" Online Caroline, arguing that despite offering the reader a seemingly "interactive" experience, it is carefully constructed to prevent reader choices from having anything other than cosmetic impact on the narrative. The print version of this paper was published in the HT01 proceedings, available through the ACM Digital Library. Slides from this presentation can be viewed on Slideshare.
Presented at Digital Resources in the Humanities 2002 in Edinburgh, Scotland (9/10/02), this talk described research I was conducting on the use MOOs for the study and teaching of literature. A print version of this paper was published in the collection Digital Resources for the Humanities 2001-2002: An Edited Selection of Papers, edited by Jean Anderson, Alastair Dunning, and Michael Fraser (Kings College, London, 2003).
