“Using MyDante was a holistic learning experience. It added a
different dimension to the class that there was so much you could
experience outside of it. It was like having twice as much class time.”

“…I worry sometimes that I might be making a mistake similar to Dante in line 77 by trying to fit all reality into a
particular worldview; either out of ignorance or timidity.”
“Reading Canto XXX and Canto XXXI I imagined myself like Dante, hiding his shame with beard pointed dejectedly
towards the ground…”

“This process definitely helped me reflect on the meaning of the poem
in my own life, as the images I chose provided a visual bridge between
Dante and myself.”

“Due to MyDante, the course become far more than a philosophy course. It became
an interactive journal, a colloquium, a journey, and a cross-disciplinary synthesis
of scholarship…. My experience with MyDante is invaluable in continuing to interpret the poem’s meaning and in
forming strategies for evaluating other texts.”
