Digital text and the ideas that underlie digital publishing have critical implications for teaching and learning. The methods by which students, teachers, and researchers conduct their business of reading, writing, and conducting research is undergoing significant change through such media as the Internet, CD-ROMs, electronic books, electronic libraries, and other technology-based resources. These new digital platforms call for a fresh look at such issues as instructional strategies, accessibility, and copyright. Vignettes offer a positive scenario for educational use of digital text.
