Scholarship Reconsidered: A Challenge To Use Teaching Portfolios To Document The Scholarship Of Teaching, Don M. Boileau
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article examines the use of teaching portfolios in documenting the scholarship of teaching in the U.S. Portfolios are generally three-ring binders that create teaching records including most often three types of materials: products of good teaching; material from oneself; materials from others. The major contribution most advocates of portfolios mention is the perceived improvement of teaching.

Speech Communication At Iowa State University: A History Of Broken Promises And Shifting Leadership, Claudia L. Hale, Mark V. Redmond
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article attempts to offer a constructive analysis of pressures applied to the Department of Speech Communication at Iowa State University and the circumstances which have resulted in the changes that have occurred, as of September 1995. The department has been in a state of instability and insecurity for more than 20 years. There has long been a sense of foreboding over the department, probably since it began to expand its curriculum beyond simply offering basic public speaking. In the fall of 1986, the department was a multi-focus department, composed of four separate interest areas, including speech communication, theater, telecommunicative …
