Effective use of distance communications technology can dissolve walls betweenbuilding and miles between colleges.The project web page (http://scate.org/scate) works well as a basic resource site for interestedparties seeking information about the project. Establishing an intranet for use as an "in-house"bulletin board is also a good idea.To facilitate project communications, listservs have been established. There is a general listservfor all project participants and a listserv for each discipline peer group. The dialogue and sharingon the general listserv have helped faculty review project threads and issues. Faculty who attendproject-sponsored conferences and

Regular assignments, weekly advisor meetings, frequent clientinteractions, coordinator check-in sessions, open class Q&A, peer-to-peer feedback, and writtenfaculty evaluations during presentations all serve as sources of feedback.

Teaming instruction focused on fourcontent areas: creating team ground rules, the stages of team development (forming, storming,norming, performing), establishing team roles, and writing team minutes. Throughout the course,multidisciplinary teams had to complete three team assignments: team minutes and logs, peerreview sheets, and reflection assignments. Team minutes and logs detailed what happened atteam meetings in terms of the design progress. Peer review sheets were assignments wherestudents had to evaluate other team members so that the advisor

Some of the “ways and means” for increasing scholarlyproductivity that are currently being implemented in the College of Applied Science andTechnology (CAST) at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) are discussed. These include:developing a college scholarship website, developing a scholarship mentoring program,developing web-based venues of dissemination and peer review, developing grant proposal andscholarly writing workshops, and identification and cultivation of support resources forscholarship.

through Video Annotated Review of Faculty TeachingAbstractReflection is a critical need for peer observations and reviews to initiate a change in practice(Race, 1998; Allen, 2002; and Bell, 2002). It is maintained, however, that the self-reflectionsmust be adequate to effect this change, and that there are challenges involved in developingmeaningful reflective practices (Harvey and Knight, 1996). Literature exists that definesadequate self-reflection and provides reasons why many instructors fall short when they self-reflect. However, studies on instructor reflective statements and how they might evolve overtime and in the context of a cohort of peer reviewers has not been extensively studied. Thisstudy compares both pre

Those students who indicated in their comment a preferencefor the tablet PC did so because they found the comments to be easier to distribute, save, access,and track changes. “It was easier to have an electronic copy.

This relationship remains strong even when the measure ofstudent performance is adjusted so that student peer evaluations and late penalties on homeworkassignments do not directly factor into their adjusted overall score.
