| Synopsis: |
In the midst of ideological debates in the 1980s concerning literacy, an entirely different kind of revolution in the practice of literacy was occurring. Everyone - students, teachers, authors, and their readers - was starting to use computers to compose texts. The very notions of "reading" and "writing" were being altered with the use of online library catalogues, computer databases, and electronic mail. With access to laser printing and desktop publishing software, writers were also able to control not only what they said but how it looked. Just what are we to make of these and other new computer-related "reading" and "writing" activities? In what way are such computer-based activities likely to affect not just how we read and write but what we mean by "literacy" itself? "Literacy online" brings together ten writers from diverse academic and professional backgrounds to address five issues dealing with computers and the redefinition of literacy. |
