Fragments

The web has been quite effective at breaking down content elements from coherent frameworks to fragmented pieces. This causes confusion and frustration for many (learners in particular can be overwhelmed when trying to form a coherent narrative of a complex subject without the guide of a book or course). Breaking things down into smaller pieces was a necessary step to lead into the more important work of repacking elements to reflect varying contexts and interests.
