Join this book discussion to learn more about instructional practices to meet the needs of the students of today. Participants will identify 1-2 instructional practices that they can incorporate into their courses.

Synopsis from Harvard Press: College instruction is stuck in the past. If a time traveler from a century ago arrived on today’s campuses, they would recognize only too well the listlessness of the lecture hall and the awkward silence of the seminar room. Yet we know how to do better. Cathy N. Davidson and Christina Katopodis, two of the world’s foremost innovators in higher education, turn to the latest research and methods to show how teachers at every kind of institution can help students become independent, creative, and active learners.
