Spotlight on Teaching and Learning: Feb. 23rd Edition

The current issue of the Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning features articles on refutational teaching, community-based language instruction, procrastination during group projects, and much more.

ProfHacker suggests that a "writing contract" can help instructors avoid grading huge stacks of papers by allowing students to generate their own individual deadlines.

The Spotlight on Digital Media and Learning blog shares some potentially startling statistics on internet access in the U.S., which is increasingly important as more and more faculty members incorporate web-based technologies into their classes.

Faculty Focus makes a case for small-group exams and quizzes, which may involve collaboration before, during, or after the test itself.
