Zusammenfassung:The digital divide flickers through the articles in this issue on Teaching Digital Media, most obviously in the contrast between the world of elite universities, replete with research assistants creating rich and beautiful websites from the university's holdings, and assisting students in using them, versus public city and state university instructors relying on their own ingenuity to adapt available technology, without much support, that they can teach their students to use in a brief session. [...] the divide is not so simple: some less advantaged institutions have secured grants to bring digital resources to students, digital projects created by wealthier universities have allowed open access to those outside the gates, and the range of new technologies- from smartphones to social networking to free off-the-shelf software tools-offers students many points of entry into the digital world.
