Gang, Here's a quick two-pager that came out of Educause, which is THE organization in higher ed., for instructional technology. http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ELI7063.pdf Educause is HUGE, so this is great news for us in terms of visability. I am not crazy about the example assignments, as they are not 4S, but I know little about the practical reality of using TBL online and what trade-offs must be made to accommodate for the asynchronous format. Anyone with more experience have insights/opinions about the article they would like to share? -M Michael Sweet, Ph.D. Faculty Development Specialist Division of Instructional Innovation and Assessment (DIIA) University of Texas Austin MAI 2206 * (512) 232-1775 "Teaching is the profession that makes all other professions possible." - Todd Witaker
