Produktbeschreibung
Academics would not think of pursuing research without being aware of what colleagues in the field were achieving in their own work. Why should faculty not profit similarly with respect to their teaching? When they do so, teaching becomes more interesting for faculty and learning becomes more engaging and effective for students. In this pamphlet, Judith Shapiro issues a clarion call for the renewal of teaching--one based on the indispensability of community. A communal approach to teaching also brings into clearer focus the advantages of a residential liberal arts education and puts the contributions of virtual, on-line forms of communication into their proper perspective. This is must-have reading for everyone in higher education.
