Abstract

In contrast to the idea of using the web to provide for instructional materials, the idea of this paper is to present some examples of using the web to create notes while learning. The tacit authorship shifts from the instructor to the student. To introduce this idea, some preliminary comments about using web authoring as a method for preparing notes while reading a novel are presented. Three examples are provided, illustrating three quite different styles of web site. Extensions of the idea to literature and poetry are suggested.
