Wolf unterscheidet zwischen informativem, linearem Lesen und dem nachschaffenden, individuellen Lesen im Sinne Prousts. Sie hält letzteres mit guten Argumenten für bedroht - ein wenig wie ein gegen sich selbst gewendeter McLuhan.
Clive Thomson über die von Andrea Lunsford organisierte "Stanford Study of Writing". "The fact that students today almost always write for an audience (something virtually no one in my generation did) gives them a different sense of what constitutes good writing. In interviews, they defined good prose as something that had an effect on the world.

This past February, as one of the keynote speakers invited to contribute to a lively forum sponsored by the Harvard Initiative for Learning and Teaching (HILT), I presented a bold challenge to my fellow professors that has since been quoted many times: “If we can be replaced by a computer screen, we should be.” Some were very alarmed at this statement, assuming I meant that all future learning should be online. But that wasn’t my meaning at all.
Creative Commons licenses provide a flexible range of protections and freedoms for authors, artists, and educators. Since last fall, we've been talking at length to various creators about their CC stories---the impact Creative Commons has had on their lives and in their respective fields, whether that's in art, education, science, or industry.

In the technological world of the Twenty-first Century, students must be information literate. They must have the skills to access, evaluate, and utilize information needed in their undergraduate experience and in their future endeavors. It is important for Geography majors to acquire these skills as part of their undergraduate education.

In this article, goals for information literacy, the creation of the information literacy assessment instrument and the results of assessment testing are discussed.
