This document describes a series of assignments designed to help students understand poetry through a digital literacy lens. The assignments involve translating a Shakespearean sonnet into different formats using computational concepts like encoding, algorithms, and dimensionality.
In the first exercise, students visualize the sonnet's imagery and structure using dimensions. Later exercises involve encoding the poem using different schemas, and creating an "algorithm" or set of instructions to rebuild the poem. The goal is to use digital concepts to better understand the mechanics of poetry, and use poetry to understand digital literacy principles.
The document provides information about sonnets, including their defining features. It discusses the typical structure of a sonnet, including the octave/sestet structure in Petrarchan sonnets and the three quatrains/couplet structure of Shakespearean sonnets. It also provides examples of famous sonnets by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and William Shakespeare to illustrate these forms.

This document discusses the literary criticism approach of New Criticism. New Criticism focuses solely on analyzing the words on the page of a literary work without considering external contexts like the author's life or the historical period. The essay examines both advantages and disadvantages of this approach. It explores how New Criticism can effectively analyze poetry but may miss important context for novels. Overall, the conclusion is that while New Criticism provides a useful method, solely focusing on the text limits the potential interpretations, context, and meaning that can be uncovered from a work.
This document outlines plans to improve parks, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and public transportation in DeKalb County. It proposes expanding existing parks and building new green spaces. The plans also include developing multi-use trails and on-street bike lanes to create a connected network. Public transportation is planned to be enhanced with new bus routes and stops. Intersections near I-85 are slated for redesign to improve safety and access. The estimated total cost of all improvements ranges between $135-185 million.
The document discusses an enhanced interactive textbook that explores the 1939 New York World's Fair through four threaded narratives: Context, Chronotope, Specters, and Machines. It provides 3D models, maps, recordings and other digital artifacts to simulate experiences from the fair and situate it within the development of technology. It also references concepts from literature and other scholars to frame discussions around the fair and ideas of machines, automation, and human-computer interaction.

The document discusses different views on the demand for money. According to the classical view, money is demanded as a medium of exchange to facilitate transactions. The modern view also considers money's role as a store of value. Keynes identified three motives for demanding money: transactions, precautionary, and speculative. Friedman said demand for money depends on price level, income, interest rates, and inflation rates. The supply of money includes currency and bank deposits, and is affected by bank lending to government and businesses as well as the velocity of money circulation.

INVENTING THE UNIVERSITY1
Education may well be, as of right, the instrument whereby every in-
dividual, in a society like our own, can gain access to any kind of
discourse. But we well know that in its distribution, in what it permits
and in what it prevents, it follows the well-trodden battle-lines of social
conflict. Every educational system is a political means of maintaining
or of modifying the appropriation of discourse, with the knowledge and
the powers it carries with it.
Foucault , "The Discourse on Language" (227)
Every time a student sits down to write for us, he has to invent
the university for the occasion-invent the university, that is, or
a branch of it, like History or Anthropology or Economics or
English. He has to learn to speak our language, to speak as we
do, to try on the peculiar ways of knowing, selecting, evaluating,
reporting, concluding, and arguing that define the discourse of
our community. Or perhaps I should say the various discourses
of our community, since it is in the nature of a liberal arts
education that a student, after the first year or two, must learn
to try on a variety of voices and interpretive schemes-to write,
for example, as a literary critic one day and an experimental
psychologist the next, to work within fields where the rules
governing the presentation of examples or the development of
an argument are both distinct and, even to a professional, mys-
terious.
The students have to appropriate (or be appropriated by) a
specialized discourse, and they have to do this as though they

This document provides an introduction to grammars and languages from a computer science perspective. It defines language as an infinite set of sentences, where each sentence is a finite sequence of symbols from a finite alphabet. Grammars are described as a means to generate and describe the structure of the sentences in a language. The document outlines different views of language from communication, linguistics, and computer science to establish the terminology and scope used.

Inventing the University
E ducation may well be, as of right, the instrument whereby
every individual, in a society like our own, can gain access to any
kind of discourse. But we well know that in its distribution, in what
it permits and in what it prevents, it follows the well-trodden
battle-lines of social conflict. Every educational system is a political
means of maintaining or of modifying the appropriation of dis-
course, with the knowledge and the powers i t carries with it.

or. CUI.TUKAL REPRODUCTION: A MODEL
Every time a student sits down to write for us, he has to invent the university
for the occasion - invent the university, that is, or a branch of it, like history
or anthropology or economics or English. The student has to learn to speak
our language, to speak as we do, to try on the peculiar ways of knowing,
selecting, evaluating, reporting, concluding, and arguing that define the dis-
course of our community. Or perhaps I should say the various discourses of
our conununity, since it is in the nature of a liberal arts education that a stu-
dent, after the first year or two, must learn to try on a variety of voices and
interpretive schemes - to write, for example, as a literary critic one day and
as an experimental psychologist the next; to work within fields where the
rules governing the presentation of examples or the development of an argu-
ment are both distinct and, even to a professional mysterious.

The student has to appropriate (or be appropriated by) a specialized dis-
course, and he has to do this as though he were easily and comfortably one
with his audience, as though he were amember of the academy or an historian
or an anthropologist or an economist; he has to invent the university by
assembling and mimicking its language while finding some compromise
between idiosyncracy, a personal history, on the one hand, and the require-
ments of convention, the history of a discipline, on the other. He must learn
to speak our language. Or he must dare to speak it or to carry off the bluff,
since speaking and writing will most certainly be required long before the
skill is "learned." And this, understandably, causes problems.
Let me look quickly at an example. Here is an essay written by a college
freshman. --

The document discusses the need for sharing design knowledge and learning patterns more widely. It argues that while new technologies have increased access, many lack expertise in using them effectively for learning. Narratives and case studies can help exchange knowledge, but more work is needed to extract design patterns from them. Patterns describe recurring problems and solutions that can be applied in different contexts. The document provides tips for identifying patterns from cases and refining patterns through discussion and additional examples.
This document provides an overview of the IMS Learning Design (IMS-LD) specification including:
- A brief history of IMS-LD and how it builds upon earlier e-learning standards like OUNL-EML
- An explanation of what IMS-LD is - a formal notation for describing learning designs in terms of roles, activities, and resources
- Examples of how IMS-LD can be used to represent learning designs using metaphors like plays, acts, roles, and environments
Workshop
[Delivered at joint 8th International Conference on ESP in Asia and 3rd International Symposium on Innovative Teaching and Research in ESP, UEC, Tokyo. August 21, 2016]
In presentations, particularly during conference presentation Q&A, sci-tech EAP learners often prove unable to distil the underlying intentions of their research design or to identify the argument(s) surrounding their claim and the generalizability of their results.
These EAP learners usually have little training in rhetorical orchestration, especially since their research papers are built on the IMRAD structure, a rather poor metaphor for argument. As a result, these learners find spontaneous oral explanation and argument summarization difficult.
This workshop introduces the operation of a structured, low-text approach which has produced consistent, rapid development of the foundation target skills (argument analysis, argument construction) in classroom application (masters and PhD level). The key tool in this approach is the cross-platform freeware CmapTools, now widely adopted in science education. CmapTools automatically generates Novakian maps (maps in which each link is articulated by a relation phrase). Learners find these maps easy to evaluate in terms of correctness of relations and shockingly accessible in terms of structure of information.
This workshop begins with an overview of current styles of concept visualization (and their attendant syntax and information structures) so as to give participants a broad practical overview of mapping practice today. Participants will then be introduced to the use of CmapTools, and will take part in guided model task performance.
The workshop activities will be low-tech (post-its and marker pens) to maximize accessibility.
However, participants who would like to 'lean in' on this skill set are encouraged to download Cmap Tools to their laptops (Mac, Win or Linux) or iPads, familiarize themselves with the basic functions of the software (takes about 15 minutes), and show up equipped for bigger-curve learning.
LASTconf 2018 - System Mapping: Discover, Communicate and Explore the Real Co...Colin Panisset
System mapping is a technique to visualize and communicate the complexity of systems. It can be used to map dependencies, workflows, and other relationships. The process involves talking to people to understand the system, capturing information, getting feedback, and iterating. Graphviz is one open source tool that can be used to generate visual maps from code. System mapping helps build shared understanding, discover issues, and extract implicit knowledge about the system. It works best when curated over time and can reveal unexpected connections and risks.

This document provides an overview and syllabus for an English course titled "The Visual World" that focuses on academic writing and the use of comics and graphic novels. The course utilizes comics to investigate intellectual problems across disciplines. Students will write four major essays drawing from various disciplines and create their own non-fiction comic for the final project. They will analyze comics, create case studies of memories, compare representing events through different mediums, and present their work. The course emphasizes participation, group work, blogging, and creating comics to enhance understanding of writing craft and critical thinking.
The document discusses several interactive and constructive models of reading:
- Rumelhart's model emphasizes how bottom-up and top-down processes interact through parallel application of sensory and non-sensory information.
- Stanovich's interactive-compensatory model proposes readers use bottom-up and top-down processes simultaneously and flexibly depending on purpose and knowledge, allowing compensation across levels.
- Anderson and Pearson's schema-theoretic view focuses on the role of schemas in anchoring new information through interaction of old and new knowledge.
- Pearson and Tierney's reading/writing model views reading as an act of composing meaning through negotiation between reader and writer.
The document discusses multimodal scholarship and the digital humanities, including different approaches from focusing on text encoding and archives to data mining, visualization, and experimental digital works. It also outlines the author's editorial experience and multimedia projects involving topics like Mars exploration, body parts and information, and highways and transportation systems. The author advocates for scholarship that uses multimodal techniques to approach topics in an "other" way beyond traditional text-based analysis.
This WebQuest guides students through summarizing events from Homer's epic poem The Odyssey. Students work in groups to summarize a specific event or location, including key details, characters, themes, and quotes. They then plot their summary on a virtual map of Odysseus' journey using Google Earth. By combining individual group work, students collaboratively build a digital map chronicling the events and locations from the story.
The document outlines the structure and purpose of a presentation on sentences. It will define sentence types, structures, features and syntax trees. The presentation aims to explain how sentences allow us to express meaning, explore traditional grammar elements, support children's grammar development, and address what cannot be explained by grammar alone. It asks attendees to consider Wittgenstein's view that grammar only describes language use.
The document discusses the need for a "design science of learning" to bridge the gap between experts with design knowledge and those without. It proposes using narratives, or case stories, to share knowledge about solving educational problems. These stories would then be analyzed to identify reusable "design patterns" - descriptions of common problems and core solutions. Sharing and refining patterns could help spread design expertise more widely and support collaborative learning design.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

1. Not quite a raven and a writing desk:
a sonnet and an algorithm.
The assignment: use a poem to describe an algorithm and
an algorithm to describe a poem.
2. The starting question
How can we get from a traditional poem (in this case, a
sonnet) to this:
?
3. Machines and poems
“To make two bold statements: There's nothing sentimental
about a machine, and: A poem is a small (or large) machine made
out of words. When I say there's nothing sentimental about a
poem, I mean that there can be no part that is redundant. …
Prose may carry a load of ill-defined matter like a ship. But
poetry is a machine which drives it, pruned to a perfect
economy. As in all machines, its movement is intrinsic,
undulant, a physical more than a literary character.”
(William Carlos Williams)
4. Looking at/looking through
A poem may be a machine, but it’s easy to get distracted by
meaning and not see the mechanisms working on us underneath.
Students often resist looking at the formal attributes of
poetry, preferring to stick with more familiar representational
aspects: imagery, metaphor, emotional resonance.
“People look for messages in poems; certainly most of my students
do, no mater how much I try to discourage them.” – PiotrGwiazda
Students are easily flummoxed by the economy of a
poem, preferring free expression to affordances and constraints.
5. Use digital literacy to better understand
the mechanisms of a poem
“Digital literacy means not rote learning but
experimentation, process, creativity, not just technology but
multimedia imagination, expression–and principles too.” –
Cathy Davidson
So, let’s see if we can do an experiment in multimedia
imagination.
6. Use a poem to better understand
digital concepts
The plan: try working with a couple of key digital concepts
that literature students tend to avoid (often on purpose):
Encoding: writing is a code, not a conveyor of transparent
meaning
Algorithm: understanding a poem as programmatic, i.e.
constructed according to a set of procedures
7. The plan:
A “sonnet sequence” that takes students through a series of
“translation exercises” converting a single poem into several
different formats
To be run in stages over the course of a semester, with
students working in pairs
Constraints & Economy: all work must be done in class
during the time provided
To remove the “fear factor” and encourage
experimentation, the sequence is graded solely on
completion of all tasks
8. Shakespeare’s 14th sonnet
Not from the stars do I my judgement pluck,
And yet methinks I have astronomy,
But not to tell of good, or evil luck,
Of plagues, of dearths, or seasons' quality,
Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell;
Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind,
Or say with princes if it shall go well
By oft predict that I in heaven find.
But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive,
And constant stars in them I read such art
As truth and beauty shall together thrive
If from thy self, to store thou wouldst convert:
Or else of thee this I prognosticate,
Thy end is truth's and beauty's doom and date.
9. Exercise 1: qualitative/narrative
Convert a Shakespeare sonnet into a non-textual format.
You're accustomed to doing "readings" of literature and
producing a specific kind of output: a paper. In this
exercise, the "input" will be the same (requiring the critical
reading apparatus you should have gained as an English
major), but the "output" will be different. Thus it will
require two sets of skills.
10. Working in dimensions
Key concept: “dimensions.”
In this context, dimensions are qualities that can be used to structure a
piece of information. (Concept from Edward Tufte)
Dimensions could include anything that can be quantified or grouped,
for example, “duration”, “distance,” “weather,” “vision.”
A dimension is useful for identifying structure and pattern in poems –
for example, the “primary dimension” would be analogous to the
“conceptual metaphor” that helps structure the poem.
This exercise was used in conjunction with a parallel project students
were working on in which they had to create a wordless biography.
Students identified and came up with sample visual representations for
each dimension (e.g. clock=time, eye=vision), and then created an
object that expressed the poem in some way.
11. What came back
A four-box diorama (one box representing each quatrain)
containing objects representing words in the poem
A clock showing the stages of reproductive life with eyes on
the hands (time, vision)
A zodiac mobile (fortune telling, stars)
A sliding puppet show, with a figure moving back and forth
(past, present and future) to death and back again
16. Exercise 2: encode/decode
Key concepts: encoding schema, lossy/lossless
A schema: a set of rules or agreed-upon language that is used
to encode a piece of text
Lossy& lossless: Are you going to encode the whole poem, or
just key parts of it?
The assignment: choose an encoding schema, use it to
translate the poem into another format, and then provide a
“decoder.”
The encoding could be of the structure of the poem (ie
quatrains, iambs etc) or of the words themselves
17. What came back
A braided cord using color-coded thread to represent key
imagery, along with a cord/card decoder
A Braille poem using beads and thread, with color-coded
beads for the words and thread to mark out different parts of
the poem
An envelope system in which each line was translated from
letters to a 5-digit number. The number became a zip code,
and each envelope was addressed to a real-life address that
represented a word in the poem (e.g. “doom” in the last line
means the envelope is addressed to a cemetery)
21. Exercise 3: Algorithm
Create a “program” that will “build” the poem when
executed.
The program is explained as a kind of “recipe,” which has the
benefit of several key computing concepts:
Procedure: series of instructions
Function (small procedure that can be repeated over when
needed)
(maybe, stretching the analogy a bit): objects, small
preassembled “ingredients” that can be combined
22. What came back
A burger assembly box, in which the user assembled the
poem using burger buns to represent each quatrain, and a
patty and toppings to represent various parts of speech.
A Jenga tower, in which users built a tower according to a set
of instructions (requiring them to write key words and
concepts on the blocks), and then knocked it down at the end
(to signify “doom”)
A Lego set for building a color-coded representation of
quatrains & iambs.
26. What worked
They knew the poem inside and out by the end of the
semester. Or at least, would never forget what a quatrain
was.
Because the sequence was not graded, students were free to
experiment and take risks without anxiety about the results
(and they did!)
Because the sequence was done in class only, students were
able to see each others’ working habits and thought processes
as they happened.
27. What didn’t
One of the issues with using the Internet for research in general
is that it tends to provide “surface knowledge” in which
students find it easy to find an initial layer of information but
often don’t go any deeper.
This project did not necessarily solve the problem: students
were easily tempted by the multitudes of plug-in “translation”
tools online. It thus required a lot of supervision to make
sure they were not taking the “easy route.”
28. Observations
Students who did best at these assignments tended to be very
detail-oriented in their other work and thoughtful in class
discussion.
Less well-prepared students were more likely to have trouble
coming up with an initial plan, and had a tendency to rely on
“translation tools” and not spend time on presentation.
For some reason, the class quickly segregated into “boy groups”
and “girl groups.” I attribute this to the “craft factor,” maybe?
As the semester moved on, the projects became *more* detailed
and imaginative, rather than less. This could be a function of
seeing other students’ work, or the lack of grading anxiety that
tends to move them towards conservatism as the semester
progresses, or the blocking out of time in class so that students
were not forced to choose how to spend their time.
