The CETL will build on an existing institutional strategy and investments and a record of inspiring and innovative teaching in Creative Writing, Drama, Ethnomusicology, Film Studies, History of Art, Music Technology and Social Anthropology, in order to unlock creativity. Relatively small amounts of money spent on bringing in artists will give disproportionate benefit to the student learning experience. More professional artists and performers on short-term residencies will provide hands-on learning opportunities for students, breaking down disciplinary barriers. A full-time artist-in-residence will supply vision and continuity, and animate projects and multi-media events involving students on various degree pathways. An interdisciplinary MA with a strong practical and entrepreneurial focus will be developed. Ideas and techniques will be exchanged across the CPA, leading to reflections on the learning process by staff and students for dissemination within and outwith the University. Through public events (an extraordinarily effective motivation to learn) and collaboration with local and international artists, existing links will be strengthened, bringing the community, the university and the professional arts world together.

Ann Cook Linda Darling Hammond Dean Eastman Aurora Fleming ... Alex White Interview With Sandy Warner Sandy Warner is a mentor teacher at the Roberts Paidea Academy in Cincinnati, Ohio. Q: How did your teacher training prepare you for the classroom? Well I think in the past in the beginning, teachers had a short experience that usually lasted about ten weeks in the spring of the year so they were coming into classrooms that were already up and going, that were running, and those of us who went through that kind of teacher education program had a real rough time when we got to our own first year of teaching because we had no idea what had happened in the beginning of the year, to get that classroom up and going, how expectations, rules, procedures had gotten established. My beginning teaching experience was also limited in the actual amount of teaching I did. You know, gradually someone let me begin teaching a little bit, but I didn't truly feel responsible and accountable for what happened in that classroom.

Instructional Strategies for Online Courses Effective online instruction depends on learning experiences appropriately designed and facilitated by knowledgeable educators. Because learners have different learning styles or a combination of styles, online educators should design activities that address their modes of learning in order to provide significant experiences for each class participant. In designing online courses, this can best be accomplished by utilizing multiple instructional strategies. Teaching models exist which apply to traditional higher education learning environments, and when designing courses for the online environment, these strategies should be adapted to the new environment. ONLINE COURSES AND MULTIPLE INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES Online learning environments permit a full range of interactive methodologies, and instructors have found that in adapting their courses to online models, they are paying more attention to the instructional design of their courses. As a result, the quality, quantity, and patterns of communication students practice during learning are improved. Of the many instructional strategies available for use in the online learning environment, most have not been developed specifically for online instruction, but are currently used in traditional classrooms, and can be successfully adapted for facilitating online learning. Educators should choose instructional strategies that are most effective for accomplishing a particular educational objective. From this perspective, instructional strategies are tools available to educators for designing and facilitate learning . Below are ten instructional strategies which have been effectively used in the traditional classroom and can likewise be used in the online learning environment:

In addition, a generation of teachers is preparing to retire from the classroom," said Clayton. The National Research Council is seeking ways to get individuals who are highly trained in science into the classroom. One group that it suggested targeting were individuals with doctorates who have decided not to pursue a laboratory career or to go into teaching at the university level. In their call for a national demonstration project to find ways to entice PhDs to go into teaching at public schools, the officials of the National Research Council wrote, "A significant number of new PhDs in science, mathematics and engineering are seeking careers that make good use of their hard-earned skills but are outside the traditional ones at universities or in industry."

Site Links Home Search for ERIC Digests Privacy Policy Resources for Library Instruction ... Information Literacy Blog Teachers and Librarians: Collaborative Relationships. ERIC Digest. by Russell, Shayne The results of a study by the Library Service Center of the Colorado State Library offer the most recent support for library media specialists and teachers working collaboratively. The study concludes that test scores increase as school librarians spend more time collaborating with and providing training to teachers, providing input into curricula, and managing information technology for the school (Manzo, 2000). A significant number of prior studies also indicate a positive relationship between the library media program and academic achievement. Didier (1984) examines 38 of these studies, including Gaver's (1963) study of the impact of elementary library service on test scores; Greve's (1974) research on the effect of library service on the academic achievement of high school seniors; and Snider's (1965) investigation of the relationship between college success and knowledge of information skills.

This paper describes experiences and results of utilizing Computer Mediated Communications structured to create a Virtual Classroom (VC). Emphasis is placed on guidelines for using the technology successfully by incorporating "collaborative learning" activities. 1 INTRODUCTION Computer-Mediated Communication systems, especially when enhanced to create what we refer to as a Virtual Classroom, [TM] Generically, the Virtual Classroom is a teaching and learning environment located within a computer-mediated communication system. Rather than being built of steel and concrete, it consists of a set of group communication and work "spaces" and facilities that are constructed in software. Thus it is a "virtual" facility for interaction among the members of a class, rather than a physical space. Specifically, the Virtual Classroom

Collaborating with Faculty in Preparing Students for the Asynchronous Classroom Kay Harvey, Head Librarian, J. Clarence Kelly Library Penn State University McKeesport Campus Nancy Dewald, Reference Librarian, Thun Library Penn State University Berks Campus ABSTRACT If the academic library is at the center of a liberal education, then librarians must be proactive and aggressively pursue opportunities to collaborate with teaching faculty and technical support personnel in the new educational paradigms of student-centered active and collaborative learning. Academic librarians must prepare themselves to expand the traditional content of library literacy sessions by incorporating critical thinking, evaluating resources, and computer searching skills. Librarians can partner with teaching faculty to provide the appropriate instruction in the expertise needed by the students in this new environment. Penn State University's Project Vision Library Studies course, "Learning Strategies for the Information Age," is used as a model. Academic librarians have always supported the educational mission of the campus by providing instruction in the information-seeking skills students need for learning. Several forces working together are changing the learning climate in higher education, and this new learning climate calls for changes in library instruction. Librarians must be proactive in leading their campuses to awareness of the new skills students need, and collaboration with teaching faculty is an effective means of preparing students for the new learning environment.

Bonk EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Welcome to the first of a series of research reports and survey results related to the use of the Internet in teaching and learning. This initial report addresses the use of the Internet by postsecondary instructors. We conducted this survey in response to the proliferation of college instructors using the Web as a resource in their teaching. Instead of randomly surveying college instructors about their Web-based teaching needs, experiences, and support mechanisms, this study targeted those with some experience in using the Web as a teaching and learning resource. More specifically, this sample was selected from instructors who had at least shared an online version of a syllabus, posted an instructor profile, or reviewed and critiqued online resources on the Web. The objective of this research was to learn about the common obstacles, supports, and experiences as well as the tools used among early adopters of the Web as a teaching resource. The findings indicate that many college instructors already have extensive online teaching experience. In fact, the participants in our sample have some strong opinions and suggestions for college administrators and courseware developers.
