Hi folks--several asked if I'd share a ppt I and a colleague presented for ACC (WCU's 'sister school) on online credit hours... enjoy!

During yesterday's John Tagg presentation I was reminded of several favorite TED talks that have inspired me re: teaching/learning and changing the world. They're about 20 minutes each (if you're new TED), and very engaging. High Impact Practices.

John Hunter: World Peace Game []

Jane McGonigal: Gaming Can Save the World. []

Enjoy! Sharon

Dear Fellow Cadettes: I found this newsletter on the CSU Fresno website. It does a nice job of articulating (and advertising) the positive impact assessment practice can have on program improvement with respect to student learning. This sort of example or case study can be a useful tool to help faculty and administrators better understand the ultimate goal of assessment --- to contribute to better attainment of student learning through better academic program process and organization.

The website: http://www.csufresno.edu/irap/assessment/index.shtml

The following newsletter was taken from this page in the "Lessons Learned" section.

This is a copy of an annotated bibliography created by a Faculty Learning Community that I led last year. It addresses the question of the //changing role of the teacher in higher education.// The document provides some useful links and references for teaching and learning scholarship. Sharon
