This paper contains an important message, that "integration between different environments, including those delivering information and those supporting learning, is the key requirement." The idea is that "information environments need to be closely integrated with the environments in which their users undertake their mainstream tasks and activities." These observations were reached during the course of the Evaluation of the Distributed National Electronic Resource (EDNER) project described in this paper. Some of the issues raised won't be resolved as simply as the author seems to suggest - it is more than ensuring "that we are all talking the same language" (because this will never happen. Still, good read on an important issue. If you like this, you will also want to read Margaret Markland and Bob Kemp's Integrating Digital Resources into Online Learning Environments, which also discusses EDNER.
