Along these lines, if somewhat tangentially, are some questions that I've wondered about for many years.

| How do research and teaching interact, and how might they act
| to catalyze one another in the best of possible practices?

| What sort of role could information technology play in
| integrating the two missions of inquiry and instruction?

| What are the obstacles that inhibit the process of integration?

| Abstract
|
| More and more we hear the complaint that the gap between research and instruction is widening
| and a vital sense of motivation is falling between the cracks.  It is our vision that intelligent
| computing systems will become a partner in the reintegration of discovery and learning within the
| inquiry process.  We will address certain issues that must be faced if computer media are to have
| the characteristics necessary to support this integration.  The development of the computer to date
| has required a careful attention to the syntax and semantics of the rather limited symbol systems
| we have induced them to use.  A capacity for communicating in multiple modalities with non-uniform
| communities of symbol users — for sharing in the discovery of a pluralistic universe — will demand
| a quantum leap in our understanding of the pragmatic dimensions of symbol use.  In the future the
| capacity for inquiry must permeate the living architecture of the computer system.  A computer
| program that begins to embody these ideas will be discussed.
