Description
This Chaucer MetaPage-sponsored session explores the pedagogical possibilities and challenges of students’ near-constant connection to the Internet. The speaker will discuss ways that digitized editions of medieval texts help make students aware of those texts’ decentralized nature; how students fluent in multi-modality can move easily between print and electronic text; and the development of a mobile application that delivers a reader’s text of the Canterbury Tales. In their entirety, the papers will demonstrate, and advocate for, ways that digital access can help students imagine the past.
