There’s a series of blogposts and articles about this report detailing the ways in which technology ought to be infused into higher education. I hate to sound like a luddite but as many students continue to struggle with reading complicated texts, I’m curious as to how to develop 21st century literacies, information, digital, and visual.

In other words, I would have liked to have seen more description of how technology can be used to help students read difficult works that are not available on-line. The longer I teach, the more I’m convinced that these are entirely different skill sets; I’m not sure how digital literacy helps a student deal with a complex 19th century poem or a report from a Victorian school-master.
