"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.
