42. Science as storytelling “…science as story suggests that science can and should serve three distinctive functions for humanity: providing stories that may increase (but never guarantee) human well-being, serving as a supportive nexus for human exploration and story telling in general, and exemplifying a commitment to skepticism and a resulting open-ended and continuing exploration of what might yet be.” 42

47. NMC Critical Challenges Key new skills, including information literacy, visual literacy, and technological literacy. Students are different, but a lot of educational material is not. Shifts in the ways scholarship and research are conducted. Measure and prove through formal assessment that our students are learning. Growing expectation to make use of and to deliver services, content, and media to mobile devices. 47

48. More challenges Convey value and relevance of digital literacy such that discipline traditions are challenged, but not compromised. Find the entry point for diverse faculty. Make technology accessible and time commitment manageable. 48
