Knowledge is no longer produced exclusively in the traditional class-based learning environment.

However, like traditional class-based learning environments, digitally networked classrooms need to be sensitive to the social forces of race, gender, and class that will inescapably invade digital cultures. Therefore, even in the cloud, this chapter argues, “difference” as a concept is always already embedded as a contributing feature under which knowledge is constructed and constructing. To this end, this chapter suggests that a consideration of “difference” and its signifying effect …

THE HUMAN JOURNEY is a five course sequence including literature, history, the social and natural sciences, and religious studies and …
