"In this new century — which has been defined by accelerating advances in technology, expanding globalization and growing diversity — we must update our knowledge and skills regularly to fully participate in a rapidly changing society. In this context, we can no longer afford to view education as a series of separate experiences — elementary school, higher education, on-the-job training. Instead, we must engage in education as a seamless, lifelong process that begins in childhood and never really ends."
     21st Century Literacy Summit, March 7-8, 2002

While this observation has been repeated so often to become stale, its eventuality promises to explode higher education as we now understand it. For the past five years, SunSITE has been working with faculty to support multi-institutional, extra-curricular and cross-disciplinary approaches to teaching, and to explore new modes of teaching, playing to the strengths technologies offer.
