Dee, Michael McInerney's slideshow does a wonderful job of weaving the basics of Team Learning and Integrated Learning principles into a discipline-specific presentation. Not being a micro-biologist, I am going to trust that the technical pieces of the show are "spot on" :-) The graphs present *very* interesting data in a format that is solid and persuasive. Also, the "situational analysis" really helps set the stage for the subsequent description of the course's evolution. This is definitely an excellent model for further scholarship-of-teaching work on Team Learning. This is a "keeper" for me. I particularly like the picture of the students doing the poster assignment. It really puts one in the room--bringing to life the textual description of the assignment and making it that much easier for other instructors to envision trying an assignment like this with their own classes. The only suggestion I have is embarrassingly nit-picky. I try to stick to a "rule of six" guideline when doing PowerPoint shows: six (or so) words per line, six (or so) lines per slide. I have found that text-heavy slideshows tend to be more about reading and less about dialogue in the moment--though, it *does* make them much easier to share on the Internet afterward! Really, this is a trifle--there are only a few text-heavy slides here, but it is something I noticed so I thought I would mention it. Not having seen the actual presentation, I am sure Michael pulled it off brilliantly and my comments are unnecessary. Very well done! -Michael Sweet Michael Sweet, Coordinator Business Training and Educational Development Portland Community College Computer Education Program (503) 533-2798 - [log in to unmask] http://www.computers.pcc.edu -----Original Message----- From: Automatic digest processor [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 11:13 PM To: Recipients of TEAMLEARNING-L digests Subject: TEAMLEARNING-L Digest - <first ever> to 9 Sep 2003 (#2003-1)
