Basically it is changing the media that transforms the information. As a result, electronic archiving is another form of remediation: From paper based to digital storage of information.
However, the aim of remediating text for MED104 is to make it available for a different purpose in a different context.
Remediation is not re-telling of old stories. They are not interpretations of an original text.
When transferring from text to film (eg. Romeo & Juliet) it is an adaptation. But adaptation is a form of remediation too.
The remediation I am supposed to undertake is to answer the final question in the Essay at the end of this unit.
