ABSTRACT

A gap in knowledge (or an information gap) is a gap where students are, for a variety of reasons, missing the knowledge (information) that they need to complete a task. The knowledge gap may also apply to the ability of students to converse with each other as the conversation pertains to the need to find knowledge or informationwhether the knowledge comes from an in-the-hand textbook or from a digital source (Neuman and Celano, 2006; Buitelaar and Cimiano, 2008; Ginsberg, 2010).
