I am looking forward to seeing the selection of results at WordCircuits. Care to point us in advance of that to some of the works at eliterature the students chose to write about?

Oh yes! I've only just started to realise that most of my students have never done a close reading, and since I'd taken that skill for granted in them (yeah, typical new teacher mistake) I've not set up any way for them to learn it.

Next year they'll get an assignment like this one. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I'll be doing a similar (but smaller) assignment in my intro-to-humanities-computing class next spring.

For what it's worth, I don't think that the Directory is publicized enough. I also think that it should have a scholarly-humanistic-projects section, as the borderline between those and Art(tm) is fuzzy. Perhaps that's too much work, or perhaps I should just ping Rob, or something. But politically speaking, for whatever reason opinions about the usefulness (or harmfulness) of the Directory are divided, and this may ameliorate the situation by making the Directory more inclusive.
