Newmedia Explorations

    Contemporary American Fiction

     
     
    This site is all about learning. . .in a new way.  We're learning to learn in a new way, to present what we've learned in a new way, to think in a new way, to teach in a new way, and even to think of new in a new way.  For some of us, it's the first time teaching using hypertext, for others the first time using hypertext at all--for still others, it's the first time for both.  The pages on this site represent the explorations of students in LITERATURE 85: CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN FICTION at Claremont Mckenna College in Claremont, California.  More than that, they represent the students' struggles not just with a new medium, but really a new archetype for expressing their exploration of contemporary fiction.  So, come, explore with us.  Hopefully, you'll experience something we haven't.  Feel free to tell us about it.
