Integrating Hypertextual Subjects | ||
Introductory Page In a recent class, my students developed the following web zine. The opening page maps out the five main group categories. If the readers click on any of these central themes, they are sent to another page that maps out the five sub categories of each group. For instance, clicking on the node entitled “Individualism and Students” brings one to the sub-themes of Student Attitudes, Student Evaluations, Guidebooks, Athletics, and Issues at UCLA. Next, a click on one of these sub-categories sends the audience to an individual student essay. One of the guiding principles behind this structure is the notion that we need to map out the various connections among diverse aspects of higher education. In other words, the intended student audience is directed to think about their own educational institutions by examining critically and integrating many different pedagogical perspectives and diverse areas of research concerning institutions of higher education. |
