There is a continuing discussion and investigation of the idea of social isolation and community engagement in a variety of texts and studies.  One of the original works  was Robert Putnam&#8217;s Bowling Alone : The Collapse and Revival of American Community.
The general belief, supported by many of Putnam&#8217;s cited studies, is that people are less [...]]]></description>

Thank you for joining in our Dispatches from the Graduate Classroom conversation over the past couple of years. We have had a blast and gorged ourselves on the whole lifelong learning thing that we educators tend to do. As a result, we have suddenly found ourselves immersed in more ideas and projects than we could [...]]]></description>

Shortly after my recent post on Gender: An Academic Question, two articles on gender appeared.
The first, and most important, was the Shriver Report: A Woman&#8217;s Nation Changes Everything. The rather upbeat title stems from the fact that women now make up half the workforce, a percentage that will likely continue to grow. However, the report [...]]]></description>

&#8220;For every 100 American women enrolled in college, there are only 77 men. And for every 100 women who graduate with a bachelor’s degree, only 73 men accomplish that, according to data from the Postsecondary Education Opportunity.&#8221; These facts, cited in a blog in the NYTimes, are well known to PowerProfs as Fritz and I [...]]]></description>

Yes, I do truly love my Prius, but here I am discussing another kind of hybrid: a course that involves both online and classroom learning. An Inside Higher Ed report of new research from South Texas College indicates that 82 percent of students in hybrid courses were successful (that is, that got an A, B, [...]]]></description>

Following up on a theme discussed in a recent PowerProfs post on the evolution of educators from a stand and deliver classroom teachers to a supercharged E-mentors using a variety of online tools, I read this article in the NY Times with interest:

An Inside Higher Ed blog Demand and Supply By Joshua Kim asks questions we here at PowerProfs have pondered:
&#8220;Why do students seem content with a lecture based class system? Why aren&#8217;t students asking for creative course projects that use media and multiple intelligences, rather than the traditional end-of-term paper?&#8221;
In our research on best practices for [...]]]></description>

Inside Higher Ed ran an interview with Curtis J. Bonk, a professor of instructional systems technology at Indiana University, and author of the book The World Is Open: How Web Technology is Revolutionizing Education. After discussing the open education movement, and outlining some factors or &#8220;openers&#8221; that are facilitating this transition in education, Bonk ventured [...]]]></description>

It turns out that our brains can be co-conspirators in a vicious stress loop. This finding is not too surprising to any of us with an overactive cortex. I find it remarkable how some tapes insist on playing over and over in my brain despite my best efforts to hit the stop button. A recent [...]]]></description>
