	abstract = {In this article Allen Webb discusses the advantages of switching entirely to open access digital materials in the English undergraduate classroom. Through his teaching experience, Webb demonstrates the different possibilities this offers students to delve deeper into the study of literature and how it renders the experience more meaningful through a more personal engagement with the works. Webb provides different examples of the activities his students completed, such as translation, rewriting or manipulating a text, looking at the illustrations with which some texts were originally published, and accessing contemporary works through the web. He also discusses an activity they completed in another class on war in Iraq where the students compared the news about the same event provided by different news channels, which resulted in a more critical awareness of the underlying biasness of media. According to Webb, working in a digital medium allows students to take advantage of the large amount of resources available, and enhances student learning through the variety of activities that can be carried out. },
