Abstract

In the study of literature, the traditional editorial apparatus imposes such cognitive obstacles that students are effectively barred from experiencing authentic investigations. We will report on the development of learningware that alleviates these cognitive obstructions, provides a rich experience of the process of investigation, and promotes immersion in the author's writing style.
