Research/ articles from the Chronicle

Here's an article from The Chronicle of Higher Education. This article, titled, "Wake Up and Smell the New Epistemology," was sent to Ben by Dr. Steve Vaitl in the Science Division. It provides an interesting view of today's student and argues for a new approach to teach. Let us know what you think.

The Chronicle also has multiple articles on clickers. It looks critically at the applications and pro and con of clickers, also the crucial importance of peer discussion in their use.

A lot of us here would like to hear about the experiences of actual in-class teachers with this technology.
