	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Literacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The history of literacy is several thousand years old, but before the industrial revolution finally made cheap paper and cheap books available to all classes in industrialized countries, in the mid-nineteenth century, literacy existed only in a tiny minority of the world's different societies.
		Already in the church law (kyrkolagen) of 1686, literacy was enforced on the people and a hundred years later (by the end of the 18th century), the literacy rate was close to 100 percent.
		A theoretical approach to understanding literacy that argues that literacy is not autonomous or a set of discrete technical and objective skills such as reading and writing that can be applied across context.

	EDC's Mosaic: New Media Literacy
		The challenge is formidable, requiring what Tally calls "multiple literacies." Teachers have to learn to understand the codes and conventions of a variety of new media that may be unfamiliar to them, at the same time helping students develop literacy in the core academic disciplines.
		Literacy needs to be connected to two ideas: literacy as practice and literacy as discourse.
		Socioculturalists stress that the goal of literacy in practice is to develop an active meaning-making capacity—so that it is possible to be transformed by something we encounter.

	UIUC: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This article is an autobiographical and ethnographic study of what it means to be Quechua, and the author’s efforts to overcome the obstacles of his society created by the fact of his own indigeneity to reach his personal goals.
		This paper is a case study of the linguistic domains in which Quechua still maintains functionality, and proposes some means by which these domains may be maintained or expanded.
		The Latin American and Caribbean Studies Progam (LACS) at the University of Michigan, is pleased to announce the 2000 Quechua Study Program to be held in Cuzco, Peru from July 3 to August 16, 2000.

	Rhetoric Archive (Jerz's Literacy Weblog) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		New media have always met with suspicion: As The Economist editorialized a while back, a "neophobic" tendency dates from antiquity, with Plato's argument in the "Phaedrus" that the relatively newfangled medium of writing corrupted the memory-building powers of oral culture.
		As I look back at the 2005-2006 academic year, I'm comfortable with the realization that Boyd and other up-and-coming new media scholars are providing a steady stream of insight that reminds me how my view of the internet is likely to differ from that of my students.
		New Media Projects (an upper level studio course in which students will create simple arcade games, interactive fiction, an animated essay [more on that when I figure out how to teach it, but Strongbad and the Jib Jab shorts come to mind], and a Half-Life 2 mod).
