Radford University’s Web of Mind

At Radford University in Radford, Virginia, the Technology in Learning Center in conjunction with Dr. Erin Webster-Garrett of the University's English Department is producing digital editions of selected literary works. These e-texts include accurate copies of the published pieces as well as annotated transcriptions featuring comments from students, faculty, and other scholars. The current beta model focuses on texts related to the Perkin Warbeck conspiracy, including Mary Shelley's historical novel, The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck, A Romance. The project will use SGML language to encode transcriptions of the books.

For each book, students and readers will have the opportunity to annotate or provide contextual information, such as genealogies, timelines, and links to other sources. For example, student-edited chapters of Perkin Warbeck are already online. Works are selected by the project Advisory Board through a collaborative process.
