This subject explores the impacts of new media on writing. Students examine a range of works in which writing and new media intersect, with a focus on hypertexts and nonlinear works. They investigate the emergence of the Internet as a publishing space for alternative writing, and approaches to writing nonlinear and multilinear works. They examine how treatments and scripts are developed for complex new media projects. Students gain basic skills in Dreamweaver, and undertake a group-based production exercise involving the development of a hypertext, as preparation for an individual project.
