Digital Storytelling "The world is made of stories, not atoms." |

Emerging Technologies and Higher Education The digital revolution is not over. Blogs, Facebook, Second Life, YouTube, iTunesU—these new technologies and their uses are changing our culture and changing how we think about teaching and learning. The web, which has become so essential that we can scarcely imagine professional life without it, is changing from a place to get content to a platform for creating it. |

Tapping into Our Interdisciplinary Qualitative Research Traditions Learning about the world by listening, watching, asking questions, and collecting things seems simple and easy. Most of us who use and teach these qualitative research methods find them anything but ordinary. Join a group of us who want to share how these extraordinary approaches vary from field to field. |

Integrated Course Design You can consider this FLC the course-design equivalent of “This Old House,” “Extreme Makeover,” or “Field of Dreams.” If you build it right, will they learn more? |

Facilitating Critical Thinking in Large Lecture Classes Many of our students enter the University with excellent memorization skills, but struggle with critical thinking and problem solving. Let's get our students' minds working in the lecture hall and aid them in making the transition to critical thinking. |
