 AAAI Symp 99 Narrative
We examine the role of a VE user in a narrative and consider the concept of social presence as a means of reconciling the freedom of the user with the constraints of an emergent narrative.
One way of examining narrative approaches is to divide the narrative process into a number of levels - a not uncommon technique in robotic and age nt architectures - and to consider them top-down.
Emergent narrative may seem paradoxical since the underlying structure provided by a definite plot (or equivalent - a plot in the classic sense may not be the only type of high-level narrative structure) seems needed to make a narrative ‘hang togeth er’.

 [No title]
The purpose of this paper is to explore the particular challenges of hypertext theories to narrative forms and practices of journalism by examining the interactions of news readers and hypertexts.
That is, hypertext is defined as a narrative form that does not exist until readers produce it through a series of choices made according to their desires and interests.
While many readers found the ability to choose a narrative path in a hypertext to be a positive and enjoyable experience, a large number of participants identified this as a violation of the author's integrity and an onerous burden placed on the reader.

 NMEDIAC : Fall 2003
Stability in electronic environments, I want to suggest, comes from the literal construction of the object of study rather than its interpretation—for that is what we are doing, constructing the page (and forgetting past pages, the pages we’ve passed over) as we move selectively through the developing Web archive.
Rather, reflexivity and meta-observatoin in narrative is simply consistent with an environment where all language is meta-language—so that everything one sees on the screen is the result of a description at the level of code (html, xml, and so forth).
The journalist is now poised for re-entry into his environment at another level—in a wholeness of interiority and exteriority and a dialogue that is not so much a communication between two people as a creation of a new narrative object outside either one of them, and outside any inscription in the book they are reading.

 IMS Learning Design Best Practice and Implementation Guide
Narrative: One common instructional model at the tertiary level combines large, 1-hour, large-lecture class meetings taught by a professor with smaller, weekly sessions, run by teaching assistants, which focus on clarifying points of the lectures or facilitating completion of student homework.
Narrative: Learning designers want to take advantage of labs, chat, mentoring, and other functionality provided in many current learning delivery systems with some assurance that a call to such a service will not result in a "broken link" and that some alternate experience can be created.
Further, in a Blended Learning environment, the role of assessment may be different from that described in the adaptive pre-assessment environment.

 Joan Didion: Slouching Towards Postmodern   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
This quote begins a much longer passage in which Didion describes the narrative environment that is informed by this ethic: stories, she says, are passed on in bars separated by hundreds of miles of desert road.
This was clearly the picture that dictated the narrative intention of the book--a book in which anything that happened would happen off the page, a "white" book to which the reader would have to bring his or her own bad dreams--and yet this picture told me no "story," suggested no situation.
If the narrative issues Didion worked through in her intervening novels led her to this new politicization, the positive response to it must have convinced her that an audience exists that wants to believe that a writer can meaningfully engage a politics founded on images.

 AOL: Copyleftists: Form and Action In the Network Environment
These successfully packaged "brand-name" identities, whether they be novelists, historians, cultural critics or outrageous social commentators, all depend on the in-place copyright laws for their survival, as do the legions of workers in the publishing industry that produce and distribute their work FOR them.
The notion of a writer becoming an online publisher and/or cyborg-narrator whose public domain narrative environment is free and open to public viewing 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from any Net-connected computer in the world, does not fit into the mainstream publishing industry's production/distribution model.
A problem, though, arises, when almost all of our narrative artists, cultural and social critics, historians, etc., play this game, when co-optation by the mainstream is equated with a "become a media-celeb or perish" goals-oriented writing strategy.

 Public Literature: Narratives and Narrative Structures in Lambda MOO
Literary forms that are possible here include narrative environments that groups of readers can virtually enter and explore such as Brown House Kitchen; [7] performative narratives such as The Ocatillo Files; and collaboratively created narrative environments such as Deep Creek School.
Influenced by the ubiquitous computing research (the creation of an environment where many invisible to the user computers are available) being undertaken in CSL, [23] the kitchen was conceived of a future communal eating space where interrelated devices integral to its functioning would record events in various ways.
Although the narrative is difficult to comprehend if only one person is exploring it in a solitary manner, as I had envisioned, the environment worked very well in this group situation.

 Definition of Virtual reality   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Most virtual reality environments are primarily visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through special stereoscopic goggles, but some simulations include additional sensory information, such as sound through speakers.
Users can often interactively manipulate a VR environment, either through standard input devices like a keyboard, or through specially designed devices like a cyberglove.
The simulated environment can be similar to the real world—for example, in simulations for pilot or combat training—or it can differ significantly from reality, as in VR games.
