Subject: Re: 3.289 e-texts
I would like to step into the "vacuum" possibly created by the departure
of the anti-intellectualism discussion and propose the following:
A discussion on the availability and worthiness of machine readable texts
at all levels of the educational system. I would hope this to include:
Comparisons to calulators' effect on mathematical education.
The concept of "authoritative texts."
The ease and accuracy of quoting.
and
The ease and accuracy of researching a corpus for suitable material.
I assume and encourage the inclusion of other ramifications.
