In my estimate, the related works that I mention in my Concise Guide are still pertinent for OEN readers who are interested in Ongs thought to know about.

Now, one of the three survey courses that I taught at UMD was called Literacy, Technology, and Society. I originated the course, but I do not remember when. In any event, in addition to basing the course on Ongs work, I also required the students in the course to read Ongs 1982 summative book Orality and Literacy: The Technologizing of the Word (Methuen). It is Ongs most accessible book and his most widely translated book.

In the Appendix One and Appendix Two to the present OEN article, I have given the course syllabus for Literacy, Technology, and Society, and the final exam.

I am pleased to report that the Literacy, Technology, and Society course that I originated has continued to be offered at UMD during the years after I retired at the end of may 2009.
