There is so much information these days it seems to cloud people's judgment. Perhaps that old saw of cultural relativism is to blame - if nothing's wrong, everything is right. This I recall arguing with philosophy students in my arts degree years ago. Ultimately it is up to us to design sites for intelligent readers, which is my professional philosophy. Each new technology enables good (finding your article) and bad (poor quality financial news reporting). It is up to leaders to choose the good, and create demand for it. Thanks again for the article.

I don't approve of turnitin.

Presumably, it would allow a US school to participate in a pre-existing project defined by a EU school, fostering linguistic and cultural exchange while building on a common articulation of project objectives. To find out more, navigate their web site is http://www.etwinning.net/ww/en/pub/etwinning/areyounew.htm. It is school based, so there is monitoring and structure. Though the site I hope to experiment an exchange with my undergraduates, and will send updates.
