This WordPress blog is taking advantage of the newest version of CommentPress technology called “digress.it” to explore possibilities of textual interaction in an online space.  Students in Robert Gray’s EH 226 course at the University of South Alabama will be piloting this project during the Fall 2009 semester.

Note: Your first comment will have to be approved by the instructor, so there will be a delay between the time you post it and the ti

Deschooling Society (1971) is a book that brought Ivan Illich to public attention. It is a critical discourse on education as practised in “modern” economies.

About

This site is an effort to collectively annotate Cory Doctorow’s novel, Little Brother. It provides a copy of the book, with the ability to annotate it paragraph-by-paragraph. It is intended to be a resource for those discussing the book and interested in uncovering the facts beneath this piece of fiction.

Objective

The aim is, in part, an effort to “fact check” the book. Of course, the work is fictional, and so this may seem like an odd objective. However, as a piece o

In this paper I discuss a small amount of the work of Margaret Tait. The Introduction offers a personal discussion on the profession of Archiving which I revisit in my conclusion. Section One provides a general overview of Margaret Tait’s life and influences. This brief biographical information serves as a background for the more substantial technical discussion in Section Two.
