The Storyteller's Art II: Topics in Narrative

Consider taking this first year English course in the Winter term.
"Digital Narratives" focuses on digital storytelling and the extent to which computers have transformed the storyteller's art. We will consider writing machines, hypertext fictions, and interactive fiction games, alongside traditional print narratives, to question the status of storytelling in a digital age. Students will produce a hypertext version of a literary text and develop a text adventure game. (No previous programming knowledge is required.)
