As we learn to read and write sentences, stories or even poetry we are explicitly taught how to construct an expression. Unfortunately in most schools, we learn very little about the "clothes" words wear. As designers we know that form is content too. We look beyond the letters to the letterforms. The goal of this mini is to develop an interface that enables our target audience to learn how the forms of words reflect the content too and how to use that form to enhance meaning. An interactive learning environment is one that supports structured interaction between communities of learners. In this mini we will conduct exploratory research and use our findings to develop prototypes for a learning environment for writing that includes form as an explicit part of the composition. --- The course should only be open to undergrads and grads with experience in interaction design or permission of the instructor.
