Interactive (creative) media

Austega is interested in the development of interactive creative media. (Note most of this section is some years old - it was lightly updated in mid 2002 and the following link added in 2007.)

Check here for EdNA's resources related to interactive books for children/teaching.

An increasing amount of writing is interactive - even print-based writing, but especially works constructed for multimedia, training and the web. In a high stimulation, time-stressed environment readers increasingly need to be be engaged, literally, whether in training, advertising, information gathering or entertainment. Interactivity is one of the key components in this engagement.

As well as effectively using interactivity in its information-based writing and web design for intranet or internet, Austega is also interested in interactive creative writing, broadly defined...
