Inanimate Alice: digital literature in educational and research context
Commencing in 2017, the NSTU project is one of the first attempts in the Russian educational
sphere to demonstrate how electronic literature can be adopted as a learning tool in
university curricula. The project focuses on presenting Inanimate Alice (Episode 3: Russia) to
Russian students together with guidance for their educators. This initiative helps Russian
learners improve their multiliteracy and multimodality skills, competencies that are of crucial importance to everyone living in the 21st century.
The project involved more than 300 students in the foreign languages department at NSTU.
The project comprised a three-week undergraduate module designed as a series of seminars on electronic literature analysis aimed at building traditional literacy and multimodal literacy skills with the help of electronic literature. The first week focused on the basic concepts of electronic literature and the structure of digital works; the second week was devoted to the close reading of a work of electronic literature (Inanimate Alice: Episode 3); the final week centered on critical reflection and the creation of multimodal narratives by students.
