In his great defense of open publication, "Areopagitica," the English poet John Milton distinguished between "liberty" and "license." The former was an inalienable right, the latter a dangerous abuse. In our digital age, the Internet and the World Wide Web have provided dramatic examples of both possibilities.

What are the arts of freedom in a digital age, and how can they be taught authentically, creatively, and critically?
