The Web, as a multi-media communications tool, all but begs us to mix various media and different genres of communication. Indeed, many Web texts are multi-genre projects in the sense that they provide us with a variety of paths to lead us to the information and insights being presented. For instance, a site might combine written text in essay format with interviews, poems, discussion boards, and other modes of textual communication to deliver multiple viewpoints about a certain subject or idea. In addition, the Web provides possibilities for exploring not only multi-generic texts but multi-<i>media</i> formats. As you read though the remainder of this online chapter, keep in mind that everything you learned earlier about creating multi-genre <i>print</i> projects can also be applied, with some minor modifications, to writing for Web publication. <P> <A HREF="/long_alexander_an_1/27/7031/1799969.cw/index.html" TARGET="_top" >Multi-Genre Research Projects, in Print and on the Web</A><br> <P><b>Getting Started with Print-Based Multi-Genre Projects</b><br> <A HREF="/long_alexander_an_1/27/7031/1799970.cw/index.html" TARGET="_top" >Considering a Variety of Genres</A><br> <P><b>Webtexts as Multi-Genre Projects</b><br> <A HREF="/long_alexander_an_1/27/7031/1799974.cw/index.html" TARGET="_top" >Some Prominent Examples of Multi-Genre Webtexts</A><br> <A HREF="/long_alexander_an_1/27/7031/1799977.cw/index.html" TARGET="_top" >The Online Resource Community</A><br> <A HREF="/long_alexander_an_1/27/7031/1799983.cw/index.html" TARGET="_top" >Creating a Multi-Genre Research Site</A><br> <P><b>Additional Resources and Activities</b><br> <A HREF="/long_alexander_an_1/27/7031/1799988.cw/index.html" TARGET="_top" >Useful Links</A><br> <A HREF="/long_alexander_an_1/27/7031/1799989.cw/index.html" TARGET="_top" >Writers in Action: The Poetry and Song Web site</A><br> <A HREF="/long_alexander_an_1/27/7031/1799994.cw/index.html" TARGET="_top" >Some Additional Writing Activities</A><br> <br> <p /> <ul> <li> <a href="/long_alexander_an_1/27/7031/1799968.cw/sitenav/index.html">Site Navigation</a><br /> <li> <a href="/long_alexander_an_1/27/7031/1799968.cw/leftnav/index.html">Navigation for Multi-Genre Research Projects</a> <ul> </body>
