Welcome to LitWiki, a new experimental way to teach online classes. LitWiki proposes to allow students to find and foster their own knowledge of literature and composition by contributing that knowledge to this web site. As is the nature of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki], this site is a collaborative effort of all students in Dr. Gerald Lucas’ online literature and composition courses. Presently, this site/idea are under development, but LitWiki should be ready to use by the Spring of 2005. Check back for more details.
Welcome to LitWiki, a new experimental way to teach online classes. “Lit” could stand for “literature” — as orginally intended — or “literacy” of the humanities. LitWiki seeks to allow students to learn about humanities from previous work and guide the construction of their own knowledge through contributions based on research in the humanities. LitWiki proposes to allow students to find and foster their own knowledge of humanistic disciplines by contributing that knowledge to this web site. As is the nature of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki], this site is a collaborative effort of all students from all over the world taking any humanities courses, from literature to composition, visual art to music, theatre to film, new media to criticism and theory. Presently, this site and the theory behind it are under development, but LitWiki is ready to be used by any who might want to participate, both students and professionals.
