Volume 1
Introduction To The First Volume
Welcome to the first installment of Issues in Teaching and Learning, an
on-line publication, funded with support from the Faculty Development Fund. The
publication features articles by RIC faculty, students and staff examining
issues and innovations in teaching and learning on campus. The mission of the
journal is to create and deepen dialogue among the faculty and others about
teaching and learning and to create a forum for productive inter-disciplinary
conversations about the art and practice of teaching.
The first issue includes articles on civil liberties on college campuses
(Weisman), the city as a classroom
(Corey and Motte), working with students as
researchers and co-authors (Clark, Gurka and Middleton), writing cultures across
disciplines (Roemer), technology and teaching
(Church), assistive technology
(Dalton), review and assessment of general education
(Fluehr-Lobban), development
of measures to predict student success in college
(Rollins et al), the development
of students as writing tutors (Carroll), and plagiarism
and student writing (Brennan).
