The Landscape Of The College Cost Debate, Robert B. Archibald, David H. Feldman
The Landscape Of The College Cost Debate, Robert B. Archibald, David H. Feldman
W&M Libraries Book Chapters
This chapter introduces the subject matter and the mode of analysis in the book. This chapter explains why costs and prices are quite different at colleges and universities. The way one thinks about changes in college costs and college prices depends on where one sits. In particular, a close-up view focused exclusively on colleges and universities will lead to quite different conclusions than an aerial view that places colleges and universities in a broader economy-wide perspective. This chapter explains why the book adopts the aerial view rather than a close-up view. The chapter ends with a preview of the results …

Book Chapters

In this article we overview the Learning Activity Types (LAT) approach to TPACK-building that we have developed and are testing, documenting how we utilize the approach in differentiated ways for preservice and inservice teachers.

Testing A Tpack-Based Technology Integration Assessment Rubric, Judi Harris, Neal Grandgenett, Mark J. Hofer
Book Chapters

The few measures that are available tend to favor constructivist approaches to teaching, and thus do not accurately assess the quality of technology integration across a range of different teaching approaches. We have developed a more “pedagogically inclusive” instrument that reflects key TPACK concepts and that has proven to both reliable and valid in two successive rounds of testing. The instrument’s interrater reliability coefficient (.857) was computed using both Intraclass Correlation and a score agreement (84.1%) …

The Electronic Emissary is a Web-based service and resource center that helps teachers and students with Internet access locate mentors who are experts in various disciplines, then plan and engage in curriculum-based learning..

These project-based online conversations typically range in length from 6 weeks to a full academic year, as students’ needs and interests dictate. When the issues being explored are multi-disciplinary, technically …
