Welcome

Because the Web is our dominant media space, the design of websites has vast implications. Therefore, the ways in which websites present extended text (on a variety of digital devices) strongly influence what and how we read. In this research group we will review the background issues regarding changes in literacy, survey the standard and non-standard ways in which text and narrated video are presented in digital media, try to project what designs can promote desirable forms of literacy, and protoype our own designs.

The members of this research group during Fall Quarter 2012 are:

Allie Choy
Matthew Gates
Valentino Ferrari
Ruby Kuo
Vicky Tran

Each is engaged in a research project related to the topic of the research group.
