Syllabus: | Writing is a technology. Yet there is little discussion of writing on the web. From Facebook updates, to tweeting within 140 characters, blogging, comment culture, online journalism, and the truncation of language via texting, writing remains dominant in digitisation. This unit offers you a practically oriented, conceptually-based approach by which you can become more effective in written publishing on the internet. From understanding how writing can capture the re-structured reading that comes from scrolling down rather than turning a page, to the reinscription of structure and flow via hyperlinking, a cohesive approach to considering the written word in a digital framework will be considered. Not only will you be writing on the web but you will understand how writing has evolved via digital forms of publishing. Interwoven in these themes will be underlying information issues such as relevance, credibility, authority and utility. |
