No Straight Line: Wrinkling Binaries in Literacy and Technology Research
Cammack, Dana
E-Learning, v2 n2 p153-168 2005
This article challenges some accepted binaries in literacy and technology research in order to explore the complex, multifaceted nature of literacy practices using a hypertextual multimedia study environment (MSE). Binary distinctions like literacy/illiteracy or online/offline are "wrinkled" or complicated by introducing findings from an ethnographic study of the MSE in a graduate history of communication course. (Contains 2 figures and 3 notes.)
