    1. . Referring to how J.R. Carpenter approached this narrative simplifies the work and gives the narrative a memorable rhythm when reading through it.

      interesting aspects of the work!

    1. In other words, exploring can be limiting to what the author like J.R. Carpenter includes in the list of unknown places that she destines important for the reader to be exposed to.

      This sentence's meaning is unclear.

      I have to admit that I got immersed in this linked list.

    2. and the interactive visual and tactile features.

      It would be useful to note the mechanic of the book seems to continually renew the text on the screen--that is the walks seem they might actually be walks.

    3. know-able."

      who are you quoting in this paragraph? Is it Carpenter? From where?

      are to understand from this work that the physical has virtual and psychological impacts?

    1. Good discussion--the idea that our bodies carry our history is a compelling one.

      The video is too small to read the text without linking out to the image.

    1. « Back to “"an ocean of static"”

      a link back to the Overall intro and also one back to the section intro would be useful for navigation.

    2. visual image

      I know you said visual in a previous page --I wonder though if the sound might give a physical, palpable idea of ocean space?

    1. Effectively, each time the red arrow is clicked, the "brain draws the bullet" again meaning that the murder is replayed in the narrator's head with different details surrounding the situation that make the narrator seem innocent and wrongly viewed by society.

      interesting!

    1. The unreliability of the narrator overshadows the actual context of the murder, and turned a situation in which the narrator is the guilty party into one in which he is the victim. 

      an example or set of quotations showing this shift would be great here

    1. The narrative is a hypertext story that changes every time the reader interacts with it, to create the sense of an unreliable narrator and stand as an allegory for the process of memory.

      you are closely summarizing the editor's and author's introductions to the work on the ELC3. You even use many of the same words.

      Without a citation, this is plagiarism. Please revise to include citations either with the lead in format or all in the tag (cite)

    1. She changed her life course just so he could be satisfied. Flanagan and Nissenbaum describe values as "properties of things and states of affairs that we care about and strive to obtain." (5)

      note that F and N are speaking about values in VGs. How does Facade as a game put values (like Grace's) into question?

    1. You're forced to take sides, respond to questions, and really be the reason why the night ends as horrifically as it does. There is no simple observation of the plot. You are part of the plot.

      this paragraph also sounds very close to the ideas expressed in the editor's introduction on ELC2

    2. To interact, players simply type at any time to speak dialog, use the arrow keys to navigate, and use the mouse to pick up and use objects.

      this also is plagiarized without any citation at all!

      Please correct by putting into your own words.

    3. You, the player, using your own name and gender, play the character of a longtime friend of Trip and Grace, an attractive and materially successful couple in their early thirties. During an evening get-together at their apartment that quickly turns ugly, you become entangled in the high-conflict dissolution of Grace and Trip's marriage. No one is safe as the accusations fly, sides are taken and irreversible decisions are forced to be made. (Mateas and Stern)

      This is an exact quotation from the author's description on the ELC.

      Without quotation marks, it's plagiarism. Please correct this right away.

      Part of the challenge of the summary is to explain the plot and the process in your own words in your own document.

    4. he Couple Featured in Façade

      images need citations. Is this your screenshot or is it from another's site?

    1. The screen then begins projecting a film that plays old footage of the Wendy's actual abduction story. Because the readers were given the opportunity to physically interact with the documentary, the audience already has a personal connection to the people and the situation, making the film have a very powerful effect and a more meaningful message. ​​​​​

      nice point.

    1. SBS

      ?

    2. Missing -

      your title should probably incorporate the title of the work so it doesn't seem like you created it.

    3. Summary: 

      summary is a little too brief--Who is the child? Who kidnapped her and why? Who are the Pitjanjara and how do they figure into this story? When did this happen? What does the author of the work hope to show? Is the interactive documentary meant to be an accurate representation of the event?

    1. This scene represents the aftermath of Hobo Lobo being wronged by the mayor and the soundscape helps justify Hobo Lobo's act of retaliation as one that is necessary to teach the mayor a lesson.

      interesting how in retaliating against the mayor, HL wrongs the children who are innocents. He certainly seems to be the greater villain and makes me rethink the relevance of the passive aggressivity claim on the previous page.

    2. However the off screen surrounding the image is again a blood red which becomes a motif in that it foreshadows the ultimate betrayal of the mayor. 

      it's not clear why red symbolizes unjust treatment or betrayal.

    1. good points and careful reading.

      I think you might have made a sub path here with each of the subtitled sections going on a new page.

    2. This allows readers to sympathize with Hobo Lobo's situation.

      I'm not sure I see how passive aggressive behavior elicits sympathy. Perhaps you could argue the HL's language is subtle or that it underplays his affront. Or rethink the idea of sympathy

    3. moment

    1. They promote a lifestyle around protecting your environment, living with nature, and being sustainable

      This claim works as a thesis--I'd like to see you develop it more thoroughly

    1. he museum was designed to have a unique layout to fit the contemporary art feel that it holds.

      It would have been great to have included some discussion of the architect and the architecture of MOCA--the building itself is a work of contemporary art!

    1. HealthSpace Cleveland (HSC) set up a program to share the information that they were using with other institutions as a way to facilitate distance learning. In order to do so they used “interactive videoconferencing (IVDL),” which at first was most easily accessible to Ohio sc

      what is interactive videoconferencing?

    1. or some kind of enjoyment

      good description of this stairwell/exhibit.

      What kind of "enjoyment" or aesthetic experience does it offer?

    1. the only staircase in that entire building.

      there is the staircase in the middle of the building too.

    2. .

      how does this aspect of design reflect MOCA's identity and the ways it selects and organizes its exhibits? That is, make more of this quotation.

    1. discussion of empty, open spaces is interesting and shows nice integration of secondary sources.

      Note that images should have titles as well as credits

    2. he founders or the creators thought about the architecture and where they could place this museum in order to pick up new visitors.

      This information should have a part of your research. You might for instance have read about the architect of this building and her statement on the design.

Theses strategies speak about the various means of ensuring cultural authenticity when creating displays for museums, they must analysis items that are found in the cultures past and use the skills of professionals to recreate them accurately to be sold as momentos, as nostalgia for visitors to remember these far off places.

    1. Roberson, Susan L, editor. Defining Travel: Diverse Visions. Univ Pr Of Mississippi, 2007.

      is this the Cohen essay? He should be listed as author and then the title of the essay. After you put the info for the collection that contains the essay.

    1. isitors are able to see the world through a broader lens; a lens which brings all aspects of the past and present into the light, so that all connections are in perspective for the viewer.  

      nicely put

    1. I like the way you're book offers a progression in terms of thinking about time and the specific exhibit examples are nicely done!

    1. My favorite one was always the dinosaur bone that they have embedded into one of the plaques in order to be able to feel the fossil and see the size of it. 

      an image of this exhibit would be great here

    1. Loree Resnick of Suburban Temple discusses her relationship to Lake View Cemetery.

      the audio clip is good. It would have been great had you added one of your own audio files.

    1. I've been interested in thinking about the city bus as a social venue--a place where particular kinds of interactions occur.

    1. Making a good impression on visitors helps lead them to forget Cleveland’s past industrial mistakes and poor economic past while providing them with a satisfactory visit.

      Is the idea of the renovations to forget the past? That's a powerful claim especially as cities often try to integrate a unique history as they redevlop.

    1. Balloonfest, t

      more history for this event please.

      You also need in-text parenthetical citations for this information

    2. Cleveland was in a horrid state, w

      oh my.

    1. With every botanical garden comes patrons who seek an escape from their everyday life to the natural life or people interested in horticulture.

      I think you might make more of this idea in terms of thinking about travel--what are people escaping from when they go to an urban BG?

      It's also potentially fascinating that the BG blecds art exhibition with hoticultural exhibits--it's worth exploring how that's meaningful.

    1. ven when I went to the West Side Market a couple weeks ago, and I visited Pinzone's Meats stand which opened in 1976, they wrapped my mom's Italian sausage up in the same white butcher paper and tied it with string.

      nice detail.

    1. The study from the previous page and your follow up here suggest that market shoppers have a belief in the authenticity of the food sold at the market --this idea is is interesting especially as it gives some insight into what authenticity means and also how we understand food.

      Nice line of discussion.

    1. . They traveled only to their market, and were only exposed to what they could see in front of them. 

      Nice detail on this page. The idea of the market as a site where travelers' paths intersect is interesting and offers insight into this market's identity.

    1. Lastly, industrial aesthetics provide important symbolism about the city's strength and work ethic, providing locals and tourists alike with nostalgic escapism. 

      This claim is very strong.

    1. ll of these luxuries and entertainment options are contained within an industrial facade which creates the illusion of a genuine experience in a city that is often perceived as the collapsed after image of an Industrial powerhouse.

      very nicely put

    1. Great description in this paragraph. An image or two from your walk would really help to show what you saw

    1. The first aspect is the environment.

      I'd like to see more attention to page design here. Even with this text and the 3 aspects, it seems like you could divide up the page and highlight the movement from one text to another.

    1. I think this page is necessary. I'd like to see you incorporate the thread about the industrial aesthetic--draw a thematic connection between this thriving nightlife and the design or reclaiming of this space.

      Also note that all images should be cited with bibliographic information in the description.

    1. Thus, the Flats became dormant, with only the environmental scarring as a result of pollution and the old abandoned factory buildings left to remember the industrial center it once was.

      In some ways. this is an opportunity to define some of the parameters of an "industrial aesthetic"--indeed this description filled with nostalgia for industry and also a legacy of environmental disregard is really interesting and even a little grating

    2. Be careful to include citations--where did you learn about this history of the Flats?

    1. Daniel's intention for the piece was to be an abolitionist project in pursuit of a more human world (

      are these your own words--if any of the phrasing is from Vectors, you need quotation marks

    2. As in the Australia page, it would be good here to include a thesis or statement of argument. It seems that this effort to make a market of land and the Tasmanian effort to institute a wage labor force and a market economy among aborigines make a nice connection and offer insight into the process of cultural contact and empire--write in those connections

      and also from the New Zealand colonial government?

    1. The United States is also accused of mistreating its native inhabitants

      in making this accusal here and in the case of Canada, what does the APS wish to achieve? Do they have any authority or rhetorical appeal?

    2. Trail of Tears Video and Article by History.com

      you should be abe to insert the video and annotate it (use the annotation tool in the media file to cue the video to a particularly relevant and brief passage)

    3. authorship?

    1. Good detail! This page also needs a thesis and an angle of analysis. In pointing out this contrast between effort at negotiation or compromise and abusive, destructive practices, what do you wish to show about colonization in Canada--Clarify that angle, story in a statement of thesis and some integrated analysis

    1. So far this page seems like a collection of notes about tht APS in Africa. You need an argument --a way of seeing or and angle--with which to frame this detail. What story does it tell about empire, colonization, or contact?

    3. Some good is the fact that there were two other societies, the "British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society" and the "Society for the Extinction of the Slave Trade and the Civilization of Africa", in addition to the Aborigine Protection Society working on the same problems in Africa. The main focus of the "British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society" was to teach and defend British emancipated slaves and other victims of slavery. The main focus of the "Society for the Extinction of the Slave Trade and the Civilization of Africa" was to promote the civilization of Africa and suppress the slave trade.

      perhaps a list would be better here. You could, thus, experiment a bit with the layout of the text to make it more visually appealing and accessible

    2. the circulating medium

      unclear wording--is this your phrasing?

    3. I use this term because the word used throughout the document is "civilizing," which is immensely condescending to any non-western culture and carries with it the implication that it is the duty of whites to indoctrinate any foreign culture they encounter. It also removes the humanity of the people being written about, which I suspect made it a great deal easier for these abuses of the natives to take place. Previously when the notion of "civilizing" appeared in this class I assumed it was the slightly racist leanings of the author becoming overt, but in the context of the Aborigines' Protection Society I see that even the most well-intentioned westerners believed they were doing other cultures a favor by erasing their heritage. 

      I really appreciate this thoughtful consideration of word choice. I think that you might make use of the affordances of this digital platform and make another linked page to showcase these deliberations--link it by hyperlink (in program hyperlink). and perhaps even add a quoted example or two from other sources to show your claims. That way also, the note doesn't interrupt the flow of this page.

    4. Australia

    5. I will delve into the Society's third annual report to examine some widely-held sentiments of the era

      Here is an opportunity to be more specific. What are these sentiments are and why do they matter?

    1. Use in-text citations for all summaries and paraphrases

    2. One example of a lasting impact is the modern day existence of racism.

      Is this a point Alston makes?

    3. Colonizing so much of the world allowed Europe to essentially decide the fate of the rest of the world, and everyone needed to be aware of it.

      this sentence offers a potential thesis for this section. Give this page more purpose in terms of your analysis. What is your thesis, way of seeing, or argument? Is it that Alston in pondering globalism and interdependence?

    4. ho had yet to discover something as taken for granted as electricity.

    2. You seem to have 3 different topics here: education (and assimilation), relocation, and Alston's attitude toward colonial subjects. What is the "story" you want to tell based on these areas of concern? Set up an argument and a statement of thesis that builds connections between these parts.<br> Also consider revising the design of this big blog of text. Paragraph breaks would be a start and you can use some of the affordances of digital space to make the text more visually engaging.

    3. The views were pretty much divided into two main ideas: assimilate or separate.

      are you working witth Alston here? If so, use lead ins and tags and include citations

    1. title --works cited

      Urls are not sufficient for citations--you need to include author/creator. title of work/image. date of publication. retrieved/accessed from. Images can be cited in text only in the description tab of the media file upload page.

    1. also, by the way, this page seems rather appropriate for a google map layout.

    2. thorough summary --and interesting. The introductory paragraph might do more to pull out the issues that arise in your place summaries--especially regarding terms of colonial contact between settlers and indigenous people.

    3. re is a group of "feral" natives living outside the law who Mr. Robinson hopes to capture with the aid of the government.

      here and elsewhere, include page number citations for all summaries and paraphrases.

    1. here too build in a framework of analysis. You might ask what it is the basis of Morel's advocacy (is he advocating)?

    1. Good summary and overview. Include a clear indication of your argument in exploring this topic. What do you want to show about Morel's work and about the European appropriation of Africa. What is the purpose of this section to your chapter? (write out the responses to such questions in a deliberate thesis)

    2. (9).

      it would be good to use lead ins as well (Morel explains, Morel describes . . .) Then you mark your connection to the original text and give a voice to this story.

      fascinating. Use this claim to develop an argument about the insight this work gives into cultural contact and the spread of empire. For instance, it seems you're pointing out that racial difference is less relevant than economic interests and power--that's a major claim.

    2. The author found that these countries imported a far greater value of goods than exported, representing the major difference in trade value that they were receiving (Morel 52)

      some of the market board posters on empire online would show this point well

    3. Trade in Africa continued to become worse and worse for the natives as time went on.

    1. clear start. I'd like to see a bit more detail--maybe a quotation or 2 and some pointed analysis of Morel's language. Following that precision you need also to make an argument--what angle do you take to reading this section of the work and what is the purpose of these pages?

      phrasing matters here. You might suggest that this history of exploitation has contribute to problems today. A direct, isolated causal connection would need more research.

      The URL alone is off putting--make it a hyperlink integrated into your text in an interesting way and summarize it

    1. summary and intro look good. Include a paragraph in which you set forth a statement of argument to set up and connect the subtopics and arguments of your chapter.

      You might also tell your readers how they might navigate the paths.

      Include a path to the works cited page

    2. he decisions of King Leopold

      this phrasing is cryptic. What decisions or which in particular will you focus on?

    3. King Leopold’s Rule in Africa

      include date and place of publication, intended audience. You might also indicate how Morel acquired his insights

    4. narratives

    7. the Aborigines Protection Society in England

      this is an opportunity for a hyperlink to another page (written by you) defining this APS

    1. You've got the parts--work on design and precision. Note that this is your readers' first view of your chapter. Begin with some contextual information: where, what, when, who, why--this info should include such basics as title of work, author ,date of publication.

      Also the cover image to your chapter is well chosen --Description of it might well offer a kind of introduction hook--you could even use the image annotation tool.

      The pathing on the page should include your individual pages--I was able to find only 2 of those: Chapter 4 and Alston and the work of the missionaries.

    2. His musings on such topics related to European influence in their colonized lands have made a recent comeback in terms of republishing as more and more people have become interested in European colonialism and the lasting effects it had on the state of the globalized world. 

      cite

    3. rgument:

      yes this is a crucial component-- I think it should probably go with the background section to set up the chapter.

      which one? Does this phrase refer to social Darwinism? If so, then maybe social theory.

      explain this term

    8. the first time

      which one?

    1. Also--this page needs to path to somewhere--it dead ends!

    2. your summary seems pointed but the page doesn't yet have an argument or a stated sense of purpose. What insight does this issue or deliberation in Alston's text give us into public views on empire? Do you seen any sense of conflicting ideas or places where you find inconsistencies or perhaps too much consistency? Pull out the complexities. Add images too!

      What kind of work is this? Who is his audience?

    1. This is the basis of how western colonists began to view themselves as superior to these other cultures.

      I'm a little unclear about the purpose of this page but you seem to be showing that Alston makes a comparison between population growth in England and its colonized countries. Explain more why this kind of comparison is relevant and what kind of insights it gives

    2. cross breeding

      try to be more sensitive to language use

    3. Chapter IV

      perhaps a title that gives insight to your argument
