Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Institute

CELT Sponsors SoTL Projects in WOVE

CELT is currently accepting applications for a year-long scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) institute for faculty and staff. This year's request is targeting two areas of interest:

  1. projects focusing on student learning outcomes embedded within learning communities

Teaching Electronic Slide Presentations

11/14/2008 - 4:30pm

This ISUComm workshop will explore the role of electronic slide presentations in both foundational and advanced communication courses. We'll start by focusing on the PowerPoint debate engaged by Edward Tufte and others. Then we'll take a broad curricular view, sorting out the competencies and learning objectives that best serve students in lower- and upper-level communication classes.

For all our attention to résumés and cover letters, we realize that they serve one major purpose: Getting an interview. The interview is the most important part of the job hunt, because it is your opportunity to find out whether the job and organization is right for you, and serves as an opportunity for potential employers to assess if you are right for them.

On the Radio: Bringing the Oral/Aural into Research Via the Web

A source of information that you may not have considered is one mouse click away and may be one of the most valuable ways for you to gather facts and opinions about the issue you’ve chosen to explore. What is that source? Radio programs archived on the Web.

Whereas in the past, radio broadcasts were ephemeral—or at least the tapes of them were not widely available outside the company that put them on the airwaves—we can now easily access radio programs over the Internet in audio archives that allow free downloading of files.
