HyperRhetoriods: An Undergraduate Course in Hyperfiction
Appearance
This brief hypertext is a narrative about the design, assignments, and results of that course. The largest section contains my commentary about Student Responses to the course with references to student Online Learning Records and their course evaluations (more complete samples are also included).

Hypertext provides a valuable tool for teaching writing and reading Collaboration and student independence (owning their own learning) are vital aspects of the learning milieu Theories of distributed cognition, situated learning, and learning as an ecology provide important pedagogical models One need not focus on "teaching the technology" in order to teach in a c-a classroom. The Online Learning Record is an especially significant tool for the development of both student and teacher.
