Collaborative Writing tales from the Vault One of the first successful collaborative novels. The No DeadTrees interactive Novel has now been running for over two years and is still http://www.innotts.co.uk/~leo/collwr.html
Extractions: The internet combines different styles of communication creating the perfect system for collaborative projects. This page looks mainly at those projects that combine email and the web. The web offers a way of publishing work to an international audience while email makes the actual process of collaboration possible even when the writer's reside in different countries. I have tried to show examples of as many different works as possible. Some of the pages are more successful than others, but they are all worth a look even if you decide their approach is not successful. Ultimately these internet projects are still very experimental and the writing is often quite raw but the variety of ideas and styles of writing that can be brought together by just a click of a mouse button makes this an exciting area to explore. Linear hyperfiction works take advantage of the ease of collaboration offered by the web and email but still follow traditional narrative structures. The works have a beginning a middle and, eventually, an end. Many of these works are still unfinished. Internovel Internovel was one of the first to offer opportunities for collaborative writing. They offer a $500 reward for every chapter published. They now have several ongoing novels.

Extractions: Good Teaching + Multimedia = Writing Success Martha Gowetski's tenth-grade English class in Wayland, Massachusetts which includes students with learning disabilities is buzzing with activity. One group of students is crowded around a large fow chart mapping out their adventure story. They are busy editing text cards, taping pictures, and placing compact disks on the chart. Several students are drawing pictures, and others are scanning photographs into the computer. Two girls are working together to create interactive "buttons" which link rock songs to their story. Someone calls out "Twenty seconds of silence please so I can tape!" and the room is quiet. View Video Clip (993K) text transcript What is going on here? Students are composing interactive adventure stories, using HyperCard software, for others to read on the computer. Martha has been doing this project with her English classes for the past three years. She starts the three-week unit by showing her students stories composed by previous classes. After her students read these stories, they are eager to get started. Students begin their projects by forming groups and brainstorming story topics and plots. These often refect their interests and concerns music, dating, parties, and bizarre (and sometimes gory) events. Once they have formulated a basic "plot plan," groups begin writing. Each story includes points at which the reader is asked to make a choice between two actions like "go to Valencia's" or "go to drug store." Each choice leads the reader down a separate story path.
Learning Disabilities OnLine: LD In-Depth: Multimedia And More formulated a basic plot plan, groups begin writing. will help them create theirinteractive tales on the The program, a collaborative project with the Center http://www.ldonline.org/ld_indepth/technology/multimedia.html
Extractions: Many students with learning disabilities are often referred to as "reluctant writers." These students may have trouble generating ideas because of gaps in their background knowledge, or, they may have vivid ideas and solid information, but have trouble finding the language to express them. In either situation, it becomes a challenge for these students to stay focused on the topic and task. Increasingly, teachers throughout the country are experimenting with instructional practices that incorporate a variety of media to stimulate and support writing. The media may be as simple as photographs, objects, videos and tape recordings - or as sophisticated as computer software which can link text, visual imagery, sound effects, and music in a hyper-media presentation. These practices, which capitalize on students' unique abilities and interests, can be particularly powerful for students with disabilities, many of whom experience repeated failure with "mono-media" - pencil and paper. Multimedia can support writing in a number of ways. It can help students deepen conceptual understandings. It can engage their prior knowledge and help them form mental images. It can also provide tools for composing and publishing. Perhaps most importantly, it can ease the transition from concepts and images to words.

The introduction to the Writing Resource Book explains the complex decisions that teachers must make about interrelated skills of writing in a particularly thought provoking way. Time to practise the skills and develop understandings is an essential component of the writing program. Children also need time to reflect on what they know and to think about what they need to know so that they have ownership and control of their own writing development.

Using technology and the Internet, the Project's focus is to develop curriculum models of engaged student learning. Conducted by Westside Community Schools in Omaha, Nebraska, eight Nebraska school districts and five art museums participate in this curriculum development. Via the Internet, educators both nationally and internationally are able to access these resources and interact with other teachers and students. These resources have included virtual exhibitions with on-line curricula and interpretive materials, e-school sessions, teacher chat rooms, interactive activities using on-line images, a list-serve, and more.
