Intensive Introduction to TEI August 10-12, 2006 at Brown University
Co-sponsored by the Scholarly Technology Group and the Women Writers Project, in conjunction with Summer and Continuing Education at Brown University
The Scholarly Technology Group and the Women Writers Project are once again offering a three-day workshop on text encoding with the TEI Guidelines. This intensive hands-on introduction will cover the basics of TEI encoding, including a discussion of stylesheets and XML publication tools, project planning, and funding issues. The workshop is designed to help encoding novices get quickly up to speed on basic text encoding, with particular emphasis on the transcription of primary sources and archival materials. Humanities faculty and graduate students, archivists, librarians, and digital project managers will all find this workshop a useful background for a closer engagement with text encoding theory and practice.

Interactive Reading, Early Modern Texts and Hypertext: A Lesson from the Past

We hear a lot these
days about the empowering shifts in readers' abilities to construct
meaning and to change the "original" text made possible by new
technology. But the phenomenon is at least as old as the early modern
period, when it was used to good effect by writers like John Donne.
Tatjana Chorney argues that "studying the dynamic of interactive
reading is. . .not only a look back on past practice but also a model
for studying integrative teaching and learning in a global world."
