beesStudents, teachers, parents--it’s been a very long year. I was participating in some Twitter chats, and the question was “What are you going to do this summer?” “Curriculum,” said some, “Read the following eighty education books,” said others, and on and on, until a very wise educator said, “Take a break. Recharge your batteries!”

Inside Higher Ed: Crowdfunding Academic Research


 

NSF issues guidance on how it will carry out Congressional orders to restrict funding of the discipline, and the agency leaves the door open to new grants.


In the face of increased competition and diminishing federal funding, some academic researchers are turning to crowdfunding platforms to raise money.  

New Russian law requiring NGOs to register as "foreign agents" if they receive funding from foreign sources and are engaged in "political activity" threatens closure of an independent polling agency and raises concerns about climate for scholarly collaborations.

NITLE Shared Academics™ FREE Seminar, Web Writing: Why and How for Liberal Arts Teaching and Learning, Tuesday, June 18, 2013, 2-3 pm EDT


 
Title: Web Writing: Why and How for Liberal Arts Teaching and Learning

Date: Tuesday, June 18, 2013, 2-3 pm EDT

Location: Hosted online via NITLE’s videoconferencing platform


 

Why should (or shouldn't) we integrate the Internet into our writing assignments? How does student learning and faculty pedagogy change when we share drafts and comments on the public web? What types of authoring, annotating, and publishing tools deepen -- or distract from -- a thoughtful liberal arts education? Jack Dougherty, Associate professor of educational studies, and Jason Jones, Director of Educational Technology, both of Trinity College, invite readers and contributors to shape the direction of a born-digital book-in-progress, Web Writing: Why & How for Liberal Arts Teaching & Learning, sponsored by the Center for Teaching and Learning at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut.

 

Faculty, instructional technologists, librarians and others from the NITLE Network interested in web-based writing across the curriculum, ebooks, and open access publishing should attend this seminar. Attendance by institutional teams is encouraged; individuals are also welcome to participate.

 

Registration

Please register online by Friday, June 14, 2013. Participation in NITLE Shared Academics seminars is open to all active member institutions of the NITLE Network as a benefit of membership and as space allows. No additional registration fee applies.
