Three professors will work on projects that explore the relevance of literature in the core curriculum, inclusivity in a high-impact classroom, and objective data to provide feedback to instructors on active learning.

The title of the Oct. 10 talk by Scott Windham, associate professor of German in the Department of World Languages and Cultures, was “Why we (still) need grammar instruction but (still) need to do it better: Grammar instruction and literacy in the L2 classroom.”

The article by the assistant professor of sociology demonstrates an exercise that instructors can use to teach students how to call their representatives, and presents evidence of the activity's effectiveness.

Raj Ghoshal and Alexis Franzese presented research in August at the American Sociological Association's Media Sociology Preconference and its Teaching & Learning Symposium.

The conference is jointly sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning, and Teaching and Learning Technologies. 

Ryne VanKrevelen, lecturer in statistics, presented joint research on "Efficacy of 'The Islands'-based Projects Compared to Student-Collected Data Projects in Introductory Statistics Courses" at the 2018 Joint Statistical Meetings in Vancouver, BC, Canada. 

Ghoshal's article, "Testing for Discrimination," showcases a method for teaching students to conduct audit studies of unequal treatment.

On Wednesday, April 25th, eight Elon faculty presented research posters to showcase Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) projects.
