Articulating the Wisconsin Idea: "From iTunes U, which lets students take educational podcasts on the road; to the computational tools running on Xserves, which allow students to see and explore the structure, function, and behavior of molecules; to the Digital Academic Television Network, which delivers live TV via a network connection using QuickTime as a client), Macintosh computers, servers, and software help educators articulate the ‘Wisconsin Idea.’ Erasing completely the ‘borders of learning,’ they depend on the Mac to let learning go on—for students and teachers alike—anywhere and at anytime."
