Since completing the first phase of the I ♥ E-Poetry project, which consisted of a 500-day critical writing performance that resulted in a resource with over 500 works of e-literature, I have been busy migrating the blog from Tumblr to Wordpress, inviting guest contributions through two CFP, developing new ways to access the content, and developing partnerships, visualizations, and resources to make the project a more valuable and user-friendly resource for the teaching of e-literature. One of these resources will be a presentation for the E-Poetry 2013 Pedagogy Colloquium, titled "Teaching with I ♥ E-Poetry." I have included a draft of the presentation slideshow, which will be a Pecha Kucha (20 slides, 20 seconds per slide). I will make an updated version available with voice recording after the presentation on June 17, 2013. [slideshare id=22086999&doc=teachingwithie-poetry-130528152248-phpapp01] This presentation is a piece of a summer-long development in the project, during which I will write about:
  • Metadata: categories, publication venues, technologies, genres, and series
  • Pedagogy: assignments, resources, reading lists, new groupings of works
  • Scholarship: critical methods, scholarly resources
  • E-lit Courses: syllabi, writing assignments, student writings, assigned materials, topics
My goal is to develop I ♥ E-Poetry into a powerful teaching resource for those interested in teaching and learning about electronic literature and its poetics. I invite feedback on this phase of the project, particularly in the form of suggestions for E-lit course websites, syllabi, resources, and even requests for entries on specific categories or aspects of the project. Please use the contact form to offer your input. And in the Fall 2013, I'll launch the next stage in the I ♥ E-Poetry project!
