SITES Document Workshop http://siteslab.org/docs Use CommentPress to discuss essays and papers Wed, 26 Mar 2008 17:06:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 en Welcome to the Document Workshop! http://siteslab.org/docs/2008/03/26/hello-world/ http://siteslab.org/docs/2008/03/26/hello-world/#comments Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:47:55 +0000 siteslab http://siteslab.org/docs/?p=1 The Department of English and Comparative Literature often hosts events which provide material for reading beforehand - e.g. brown bag lunches, panel discussions on papers, etc. Rather than simply providing these materials as Microsoft Word or PDF files, we'd like to try something new: CommentPress.

What is CommentPress, you ask? It's software designed by the Institute for the Future of the Book which allows documents to be posted online in a format that encourage discussion about the text. In CommentPress, there's room for discussion on each paragraph or the whole document at once; it's an innovative way to allow thoughtful reading and intellectual discussion about a text.

Watch this space for future developments and links to papers related to departmental events.
