ENG-374 WRITING FOR THE INTERNET

Study of organizational patterns, navigation systems, and Internet etiquette. Teaches students basic skills for creating hypertext and hypermedia documents. Students in this course distinguish traditional text documents from e-texts (electronic texts) and hypertexts (text including hyperlinks and text encoded with hypertext markup language), examining the stylistic consequences of these formal distinctions from a humanistic perspective. The class emphasizes the sense that traditional notions of authorship and authority are reconstituted by the contemporary writing environment and students apply their findings via the creation of original hypertext documents both individually and in collaboration with their peers. Prerequisite: ENG 112 or ENG 210
