In Teaching with e-Portfolios, you will hear how e-Portfolios have been implemented in one program's learning-outcomes-based pedagogy during the past year, the scholarship that informs that pedagogy, and learn concrete strategies for making them work.

In Connecting Your Class to the "Real World", faculty members in the humanities and the social sciences will discuss strategies for connecting course work to the "real world" and share ideas about how to enhance student buy-in without compromising the integrity of the course’s learning goals.

In Election 2012: A Teachable Moment, a Political Science professor focuses on how faculty members can productively engage the upcoming election in their courses, both through class discussions and more substantive course assignments.
