Something of Interest - Faculty Focus

| 1 Comment
A free resource that you may want to check out is called Faculty Focus. You can subscribe to email alerts or subscribe via RSS. I've been getting it the past month or so as email alerts and they are short and to the point. Here are a few that look like they'd be of interest to this group.

October 12, 2009 "Understanding What's Needed for Online Teaching Success"

September 28, 2009 "For the Best Assessment Standards Try the Combo Platter"

October 7, 2009 "Tips to Reduce Cheating in the College Classroom"

September 30, 2009 "Reaching Online Students with Learning Disabilities"
 
On the site you will see a list of other topics. Faculty Focus also publishes special reports on relevant topics. The reports are free, though you have give them your email address. I've not seen any spam and get these short alerts. Looks like good content.

Thanks for the reference, Stuart. The one abou cheating caught my attention because I constantly have to deal with students using online translators. The hard thing to do, though, is proving it. It usually requires hours to be able to get the specific website they used in order to get ot translated the same way they did. Has anything similar to turnitin been released to catch translator problems?
