Risks and Trade-offs in Popularizing Hypertext | Eight Levels of Electronic Research Papers Adapting to the Students’ Technical Abilities | Student Reactions | Teaching Suggestions A Note about the Student Examples These papers are a bit shorter than the average research paper, but I had them do a traditional “mini-research paper” prior to doing this web project, so that the students could concentrate primarily on transforming their paper projects into web projects, which turned out to be no easy task. Though I showed students how to upload files to the university’s server, the process did not always work so smoothly. As a result, many chose to use independent servers, such as Geocities or Angelfire, on which to house their web pages. Those web pages often have the disadvantage of having pop-up ads appearing on their screens, but students also encountered more flexibility sometimes, as well. Students approached their task in a variety of ways. Some simply cut their paper into paragraphs and pasted each paragraph as a separate link with connecting links to either all other paragraphs in the paper, or just the previous or next paragraph. Some students incorporated designs into their pages, either as background paper, decorative art, or intro pictures. Two students in the class (only one of whose pages is included in the examples; the other students’ page was not working when this came to press) uploaded music files to have their welcome pages greet visitors with a song or a tune related to their topic.  Often, students labeled sections of their paper into subtopics and used these section labels as a guide. Some students incorporated external links within their texts, while others only pointed to their own Works Cited pages. Subsequently, grading them was a challenge, but one of the most delightful challenges I had had in grading papers in years. Student Examples: Aimee, Julie M., Amber, Don, Katie, Bryan, Holly, Julie S.
