Abstract
The pandemic of 2020 has renewed interest in technology as an integrative agent in higher education. However, advancements in technology continue to outpace the scholarship of integration in SoTL, even though Ernest Boyer valued it as a continuous area of study. This article calls for a reconsideration of Boyer’s appreciation of integration as convergence or intertextuality. Intertextuality and its digital correlate, hypertextuality, operationalize online education. Yet, they are often ignored as models of convergence. This relational paradox signals a need for a discourse and framework that help us to conceptualize the inherently integrative nature of knowledge and online education. To address this deficit, this literature review introduces Peircean architectonics as the paradigm that reframes our understanding of convergence and illuminates its actualization in Terry Anderson’s prototype for online education. Architectonic logic enriches this model and provides us with a philosophy of convergence that revalues and advances the scholarship of integration.

Résumé
La pandémie de 2020 a renouvelé l'intérêt pour la technologie en tant qu'agent d'intégration dans l'enseignement supérieur. Cependant, les progrès de la technologie continuent de dépasser les savoirs concernant l’intégration dans l’Avancement des Connaissances en Enseignement et en Apprentissage (SoTL par ses sigles en anglais), même si l'éducateur américain Ernest Boyer l'a appréciée comme un domaine de recherche interdisciplinaire continue. Cet article de réflexion appelle à reconsidérer l'appréciation de Boyer de l'intégration en tant que convergence ou intertextualité. L'intertextualité et son équivalent numérique ou hypertextualité rendent opérationnelle l'éducation en ligne. Pourtant, ils sont souvent ignorés en tant que modes de convergence qui remettent en cause la disciplinarité. Ce paradoxe signale le besoin d'un discours et d'un cadre savants qui peuvent aider les éducateurs à (re)conceptualiser la nature intrinsèquement intégrative des connaissances et de l'éducation en ligne. Pour combler ce déficit dans le SoTL, cette méta-synthèse met en évidence l'architectonique de Peircean comme le paradigme qui recadre notre compréhension de la convergence et éclaire son actualisation dans le prototype de l'éducateur Canadien Terry Anderson pour la théorie de l'éducation en ligne. La logique architectonique enrichit ce modèle et fournit aux éducateurs en ligne un discours commun et un cadre interdisciplinaire qui feront progresser les savoirs sur l'intégration dans l'éducation en ligne.
