From Subject Outline

‘This unit focuses primarily on the use of language but also explores how graphic input and hypertext design can relate to the overall site design. Students will research internet writing strategies and methodologies in theory and practice, applying their findings in a review of existing web sites, and will develop web pages using their own creative writing.’ 

This course aims for a confluence of three streams: Theory of Hypertext; Critique of hypertext writings and web sites; and writing hypertext – with emphasis on the latter.
 

What the course is not – 
Not hi tech, not about coding, not about designing web sites.
