ERNEST MORRELL, Ph.D., Coyle Professor and the Literacy Education Director at the University of Notre Dame

OPEN A WORLD OF IDEASIt is important to understand that learning is different in the 21st century than it was in the 20th century. For many of us educated in the 20th century, our learning modalities are closer to Gutenberg than Zuckerberg! Learning changes as technologies change. We’re moving from what would have been a receptive learning ecology to an interactive and productive one.

The 21st century is about producing knowledge. It’s a century where students need to develop unique and powerful voices plurally and consider the following questions: How do I speak to different audiences? How do I understand the rhetorical situation? How do I know what my audience needs to hear from me? How do I meet them where they are? There’s not just one generic academic voice; there are multiple voices. It’s also about learning to consider and engage diverse perspectives.
