Contracts have been signed with New Forums Press for a five volume series on
"Teaching with Technology in the College Classroom." The first two volumes
in progress include a volume on the Humanities.
The series is co-edited by Jason Steed and Mark Girod, and is designed to
provide helpful pedagogical essays on using technology in the college
classroom for the improved teaching and learning of given subject matters.
Each volume will focus on a particular "school" or "college" within the
university community:
Vol. 1 = Education
Vol. 2 = Humanities
Vol. 3 = Social Sciences
Vol. 4 = Natural Sciences
Vol. 5 = Fine Arts
For the humanities volume, we are in particular need of essays on using
technology in the teaching of philosophy and religion, foreign languages,
and communications; but we also welcome additional submissions in the areas
of teaching writing and literature.
Essays should be about 15 pages long, with a heavy emphasis on pedagogy, or
a "how-to" approach (i.e. "Here's how I use technology to enhance my
teaching in this area, and here's how you can do it"). We are looking for
methods that combine innovation and ease of application/replication, and we
hope to avoid essays that, for example, merely point out online sources that
can supplement one's course materials.
If you are interested in submitting, please send your proposal (300 words),
or a completed essay, as a .doc or .rtf file attached to email, to: Jason
Steed, profsteed@hotmail.com
Questions and queries should also be directed to the above address.
The deadline for proposals/essays is 12/1/02; if you send a proposal only,
and we want to see more, we would hope to get the completed essay by the end
of Jan 2003.
