This book examines a writing activity that has recently fallen into
disrepute. Outlining has a bad reputation among students, even
though many teachers and textbooks still recommend the process. In
part, the author argues, the medium is to blame. Paper and ink make
the revision difficult. But if one uses an electronic outliner, the
activity can be very helpful in developing a thoughtful and
effective document, particularly one that spans many pages and
deals with a complicated subject. Outlining Goes Electronic takes
an historical approach, examining the way people developed the idea
of outlining, from the classical period to the present. We see that
the medium in which people worked strongly shaped their
assumptions, ideas, and use of outlines. In developing a
theoretical model of outlining as an activity, the author argues
that a relatively new electronic tool-software that accelerates and
performs the process of outlining-can give us a new perspective
from which to engage previous classroom models of writing, recent
writing theory, and current practice in the technical writing
field.
