Having used both the compass and the flâneur as models
for hypermedia composition, students need to find a way to construct
their own spaces between (within, drawn from) those models. Two
things need to be foregrounded in this third phase of the
pedagogy:
- Design becomes very important as the method by
which these different grammars and systems are articulated. The
choices to use certain navigational markers or to leave them out, to
foreground heirarchy or to foreground multilinearity each become
significant. Designers make such choices.
- The very nature of the space being made by the pages cannot
be assumed to be "natural" or "given." While the static, settled
nature of print space makes its constructedness difficult to
ascertain, the dynamic, embattled structure of hypermedia foregrounds
structure.
