The readings for compass work focus on narrative and cartographic process.

  • Landow, "The Rhetoric of Hypermedia: Some Rules for Authors"
  • Bolter, "Topographic Writing: Hypertext and the Electronic Writing Space"
  • David Kolb, "Discourse Across Links"

Assignments for the compass section are intended to get students familiar with hypertext writing and its intricacies. They are to take their knowledge of literate space and apply it to electrate space. Next, we'll do something else with that space.

  • Make a homepage - include a heirarchy of links.
  • Put an essay on the web - add images.
