Democratized Learning

Today, students have the ability to cheaply access e-books. These products are becoming more sophisticated as time proceeds. For instance, students studying To Kill a Mockingbird would be able to access hyperlinks which provide some context to the 1930s, the Great Depression and the oppressive 'Jim Crow Laws'. These hyperlinks may be in a video format, podcast, a blog, text, mind maps, images and so on.

The point is, that students will be freed from 'knowledge black holes' as there will be a highly flexible medium connected to the concept of 'reading for meaning'. Student frustration ('I just don't get it!') will gradually dissipate as e-books become more independent as a stand alone 'knowledge network'.
