Livewriting Dustrunners Book Two
From November 26-28, 2010, I livewrote a novel called Polarity. What is livewriting? It's creating a story, live on the internet, using feedback from the audience to mix things up. The event is now over, but Polarity will be available as a fully-reworked, edited, and buyable book on May 1, 2011!

This author shared his writing online with an audience. Observers could read as the author wrote his next novel. Observers could participate by offering suggestions for some ideas. For example the author needed a name of a place his character could meet with another character in London.

This is a great example of how technology can support collaboration with a few or a large audience. This could be notes from a lecture, or writing a research project with others. This was done with Google docs. Faculty can set an outline for students to fill in or slides can could also be used.
