Building Teaching Capacities in Higher Education by Alenoush Saroyan (Editor); Mariane Frenay (Editor); James E. Groccia (Foreword by)
ISBN: 9781579224103
Publication Date: 2010-05-10
This book is the culmination of three years of work by teams from eight institutions in five different European and North American countries. The teams included faculty developers, professors, and graduate students interested in developing and disseminating a more profound understanding of university-level pedagogy. The purpose of the project was, first, to conceptualize what an internationally appropriate, formal academic program for faculty development in higher education might look like, taking into account differing national contexts, from national standards for faculty development (U.K. and Scandinavia), almost universal institutional support (North America) to virtually no activities (France).

The Best Class You Never Taught by Alexis Wiggins
ISBN: 9781416624684
Publication Date: 2017-09-30
The best classes have a life of their own, powered by student-led conversations that explore texts, ideas, and essential questions. In these classes, the teacher's role shifts from star player to observer and coach as the students Think critically, work collaboratively, participate fully, behave ethically, ask and answer high-level questions, support their ideas with evidence, and evaluate and assess their own work. The Spider Web Discussion is a simple technique that puts this class within every teacher's reach.

Emerging Strategies for Supporting Student Learning provides a straightforward and accessible guide to the latest learning and teaching practices appropriate for use with higher education students. It is both an exciting and challenging time to be working in higher education as the sector experiences rapid changes including: an increasingly diverse student population with changing expectations; changes in technology including the rise in the use of social media; increased emphasis on employability and internationalisation; development of new social learning spaces; as well as an ever-decreasing resource base. As a result of these changes, new approaches to supporting student learning are developing rapidly.

Geeky Pedagogy is a funny, evidence-based, multidisciplinary, pragmatic, highly readable guide to the process of learning and relearning how to be an effective college teacher. It is the first college teaching guide that encourages faculty to embrace their inner nerd, inviting readers to view themselves and their teaching work in light of contemporary discourse that celebrates increasingly diverse geek culture and explores stereotypes about super-smart introverts. Geeky Pedagogy avoids the excessive jargon, humorlessness, and endless proscriptions that plague much-published advice about teaching.

Teaching Online
ISBN: 9781421416236
Publication Date: 2015-03-15
Demystifies online teaching for both enthusiastic and wary educators and helps faculty who teach online do their best work as digital instructors. It is difficult to imagine a college class today that does not include some online component--whether a simple posting of a syllabus to course management software, the use of social media for communication, or a full-blown course offering through a MOOC platform. In Teaching Online, Claire Howell Major describes for college faculty the changes that accompany the use of such technologies and offers real-world strategies for surmounting digital teaching challenges.

Analysing Teaching-Learning Interactions in Higher Education by Paul Ashwin
ISBN: 9780826494184
Publication Date: 2009-04-09
Whilst current research into teaching and learning offers many insights into the experiences of academics and students in higher education, it has two significant shortcomings. It does not highlight the dynamic ways in which students and academics impact on each other in teaching-learning interactions or the ways in which these interactions are shaped by wider social processes. This book offers critical insight into existing perspectives on researching teaching and learning in higher education and argues that alternative perspectives are required to account for structure and agency in teaching-learning interactions in higher education.
