Hypertext

Scott Rettberg's Spring 2004 Hypertext course at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. The course was part of an early comprehensive New Media Studies track within the Literature Program. The hypertext course was both a literature and writing course. Students dealt with classic hypertext fictions in the context of literary postmodernism, learned about hypertext theory, and wrote hypertext fiction using both Storyspace and HTML.
