III. SEMIOTICS THEORIES
IV. EXPERIMENTAL HYPERTEXTUALS
I am proposing three studies as praxis:
1. A creation of a series of hypertextual stories for children which will be tested for responses within a class room setting.
2. The establishment of an Internet journal for experimental works. The working title is
Southern Expressways: "Southern Expressways will be an Internet journal from the University of South Australia. There will be collaborative hypertextual works as well as individual pieces. The Expressways are the many schools, which combine to make the University of South Australia. The on-ramps to the Expressways are student and staff vehicles for articles, multimedia productions, and dialogue." This is in the proposal stage and has not been presented or approved.
3. Conducting a class production of a hypertextual Dialogue/story.
