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>

As you may know, Ann and I worked together in the creation of a research chapter for the Handbook of Research on Practices and Outcomes in E-Learning: Issues and Trends. Today,  IGI Global released the text for sale.
What you may not know is the final submission deadline for our original chapter was during a time [...]]]></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>

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>

 Keeping digital stuff organized is a challenge, and we dedicated a podcast to that topic last year. One of our favorite tools that has since stood the test of time is Zotero. A recent article in Inside Higher Ed echoes our sentiments:

Does the world really need another blog? With more than 100 million blogs already out there, and 100,000 new blogs created daily, I was wondering if this blog would make a difference, or would it just be adding to the noise.
But then it hit me:  I was asking the wrong question!

I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. There are a couple of reasons for this: 1) I like to set myself (and others) up for success and most resolutions fail. 2) Resolutions are too absolute—I prefer a little wiggle room. 
That is why I just loved this bit from Bob Sutton’s Work Matters blog:  Learn [...]]]></description>
