When Technology Meets the Subject-Matter Disciplines in Education: Part Two: Understanding the Computer as Discourse.

Norton, Priscilla

Educational Technology, v32 n7 p36-46 Jul 1992

Discussion of discourse created by computers defines discourse as a pattern of cognitive functioning and identifies two such modes of thought: narrative and expository. Discussion covers the computer as discourse; schemas as a way to understand how knowledge is organized; simulations, hypermedia, and databases as discourse; and interactive fiction.
