Over a cup of coffee: Winter break edition


As we work on our winter quarter courses, take a look at the Teaching Commons resources on developing a course, writing a syllabus, and assessing student learning throughout a course.

Michigan State University has a large collection of resources for teaching within the disciplines.

Faculty Focus asks us to think about how the differences between us and our students might be becoming more acute and how we can bridge that gap. They also write on the different sources of power between students and faculty members.

University Blog, written by Ferdinand von Prondzynski, President of Dublin City University posts on how we can help students engage in scholarly activity with the overwhelming amount of information available to them.

Winter break is upon us. Wishing everyone a happy holiday season and a joyous new year. We’ll be back in the 2010 with more teaching and learning resources, workshops, notable research, and news of interest.
