Picture of Ivar Bråten before his keynote, in front of a large projection of his first slide that says “Multiple Document Literacy: Past, Present, and Promise.”

Such a wonderful keynote at #EARLI2025 by Ivar Bråten. Clear, compelling, integrated, and well-justified - just like his research! Truly inspiring to hear how he built so much knowledge about how people understand and integrate multiple documents.
