This effort was in response to the California State Students Association resolution for campuses to take action to improve the affordability of clickers through strandarization of practices.This website is open for all to review and is designed to facilitate the sharing of polices, practices, analyses, strategies, and issues so members of the CSU community can leverage exemplary practices and support campus planning for implementing their policies and practices on clickers. It provides campus methodologies and findings for evaluating and selecting clickers, including the accessiblity of the devices and software. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=580230 The Course in College Teaching is a graduate level course designed as part of the College Teacing Certificate Program at the University of Oklahoma. The College Teaching Certificate Program was designed by Dee Fink and has been a graduate level certificate program at OU for over 10 years. I redesigned the foundation course in 2006 to focus more on course design leading to classroom teaching strategies that are practiced in graduate teaching assignments. While we continued some teaching exercises in the course, the emphasis in the course was critically examining how to design a course that draws from literature on effective teaching and learning. To facilitate learning, students designed courses in their discipline over the course of the semester. The course design is "inquiry based" and is easily replicable. While Dr. Fink's book is not necessarily designed as a "text״, it provides a great foundation for thinking about how to design courses and served this course quite well. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=768445 Allows faculty to create scholarly web pages to announce research, track readership, and optimize impact.
