I was very happy to receive the invitation, today, from Ray Siemens to return to the Digital Humanities Summer Institute next summer at the University of Victoria, to teach the course in electronic literature again.  This will make the 4th year in a row that I have taught at the institute.

This year I brought my ELO colleagues Sandy Baldwin, Davin Heckman, and Margie Luesebrink with me.  We had 25 faculty members and graduate students in our course from universities in Canada, the US, UK, Ireland, and Poland.

Along with the course we all read at an event organized by James O’Sullivan with whom I am collaborating on a book about electronic literature.

This year we brought computers from ELL––my Apple IIe, Classic, and Blueberry G3 iMac––so that we could teach historically important works along with contemporary ones.
