I am facilitating a discussion for the UW-System New Faculty Seminar in early November. I will be presenting ideas on how to use small groups and Team Learning to create classroom environments to optimize learning and retention. I teach Physiology and have some examples of applications for that topic but am lacking examples in other disciplines (i.e. Literature, Business, Sociology, etc., etc.). Would you, the list, be willing to share some of your applications with me that I might be able to distribute them to new faculty members from a variety of disciplines? If so, please reply off list. Thank you in advance for your help. Scott -- Scott D.
