“What happens when text moves from page to
screen?
“First, the digital text becomes unfixed and
interactive. The reader can change it, become writer.”
“Does a technology’s ideology determine, or at least influence, a culture?”

The Challenge of Integration
“Fostering students' abilities to integrate learning--over time, across courses, and between academic, personal, and community life--is one of the most important goals and challenges of higher education.
“The undergraduate experience is often a fragmented landscape of general education, concentration, electives, co-curricular activities, and, for many students "the real world" beyond campus. An emphasis on integrative learning can help undergraduates find ways to put the pieces together and develop habits of mind that will prepare them to make informed judgments in the conduct of personal, professional, and civic life.”

The Evolution of Student ePortfolios
Mature, capstone ePortfolios that contextualize learning in a major, connect courses and personal interests, and integrate learning across the curriculum.
Limited course-focused ePortfolios in a single set of courses in learning communities that set a context for basic skills learning or for initial, college-level work.
