Overview

Hypertext, E-mail, word processing: electronic technologies have revolutionized textual practices. How does language on screen work differently from language on the page? What new literacy skills are needed and how do we teach them? This work explores these questions and analyzes the potential of the new forms of text, the increased emphasis on visual communication, new forms of rhetoric, learning in the age of global communication networks and new approaches to storytelling. International contributors include Gunther Kress, Cynthia Selfe, Gail E. Hawisher and Colin Lankshear.
