External Links
HyperRhetoroids: The Rhetoric of Hypertext links to the top page of
the Fall, 1998 web site for the course. Almost everything used for the
course can be found on the course web-site including handouts, assignments,
etc. The vast majority of the external links in this hypertext are to
the class site (in a new browser window) so that readers can access the
same material the students did. The individual class pages to which this
hypertext links follow. Please note that, as of this writing, the CWRL
expects to maintain course pages indefinitely, though archiving may become
necessary in the future. It is expected that redirects or aliases would
then be used to maintain the links.

There are several external links to other University
of Texas-Austin web sites. The main informational page for the Online
Learning Record is M.A.
Syverson's Online Learning Record site. An explanation of the five
dimensions of learning discussed in this essay can also be found there.
Information about the Computer
Writing and Research Lab is available from the main page of the CWRL.
Two of the projects developed by graduate students at the CWRL are also
linked directly. Critical
Tools, a set of several web-based scripts from which the "add
link" and forums pages were taken, may soon be available for general
distribution. The
Collaboration Center, on the other hand, uses a server at the CWRL
for its administration, though it may be available for use by other than
UT instructors and future plans may include making it available for use
on other servers.
Only two sites are linked to that are not based at the University of Texas. Storyspace, from Eastgate Systems, is one of the programs I have found useful personally as well as professionally. The program is quite helpful for mapping concepts and ideas topographically rather than linearly and also helps students broaden their perspectives on what may be possible in terms of writing hypertextually.
Finally, the Daedalus Integrated Writing Environment (DIWE) was also developed by UT graduate students (several years ago), and I have found its synchronous chat environment (called "Interchange") gets a lot of positive response from students after some initial resistance.
