Linked Courses for General Education and Integrative Learning

A Guide for Faculty and Administrators

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Focuses on the learning community model that is the most flexible to implement in terms of scheduling, teacher collaboration, and design: the linked course. This volume covers both "linked courses” in which faculty may work to coordinate syllabi and assignments, but teach most of their courses separately, as well as "paired courses” in which two or more courses are team taught in an integrated program in which faculty participate as learners as well as teachers.
