Event cycle 3 for 2005 (soon to be updated for
2006)
We begin by taking a look at two presentations which themselves model certain aspects of multiliteracy. When viewing the presentations, note how they differ from what Tuman (in Word Perfect, 1992) calls 'print literacy'. What are some of the 'other' literacies required to not only make such presentations, but to view them? What do the presentations themselves suggest about literacy competencies required of a modern multiliterate online language teacher?
Sun Microsystems has some practical pages on writing for the Web as opposed to writing on paper
