Featured project
“Poetic Thinking Across Media” is a course at Stanford University offered to advanced undergraduates and graduate students. Our goal is to examine the human aptitude to approach life and the worlds we inhabit poetically, that is in manners of writing, speaking, and artistic creation that are not governed by systematic reasoning. We will consider how poetic works across media raise personal, communal, ethical, and political dilemmas.
Introducing Lacuna for Writing
Thursday, November 2, 2017 - 18:17
In collaboration with Julia Azar Rubin, an MA student at the Graduate School of Education, Poetic Media Lab is developing a platform that harnesses Lacuna's annotation and data visualization tools to allow instructors to give students feedback on their writing more easily. Instead of feedback in the margins of papers that can get lost or misplaced and never looked at again, Lacuna for Writing keeps all of a student's feedback in one place, available at a glance, by allowing instructors to annotate their students' work and then categorize these annotations according to types of feedback. Stay tuned for a prototype in Spring, 2018!
