ISSN 1328-1798

***********

In FEBRUARY we present the following NEW materials:

We begin the year in reflective mode ... In the Articles section there is an interview entitled Lessons from Cyberschool: An interview with Timothy Luke. Luke is a founding member of the cyberschool initiative at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. He visited Australia in November last year as a keynote speaker at the Virtual University Symposium on which we reported in December ultiBASE In-Site. In our interview Luke expresses his current concerns about the future direction of education and technology within a social, economic, and political context.

Peter Fensham, distinguished educator and former Dean of Education at Monash University, reflects on experiences that shaped his thinking about teaching and learning. In his article entitled Conceptions of persons and what we can do for each other he shares some personal beliefs that have guided his work in education for more than forty years.

We focus on the Resources section this month:

The Teaching more students group of publications and video funded by the Polytechnics and Colleges Funding Council in Britain is comprehensively reviewed by Gary Hough and Michael Jackson. The series consists of:

Problems and course design strategies
Lecturing to more students
Discussing with more students
Assessing more students
Independent learning with more students
Video: Teaching more students

Latest contents have been added for the journals College Teaching and Innovations in Education and Training International. We have also introduced another contents page, this time for the American journal entitled Teaching Sociology.

Following a suggestion from one of our readers we have added a new (and of necessity brief) bibliography on the Course Experience Questionnaire.

Events has been updated as usual. This section includes events for 1997 as well as 1998! Tell us about your planned Events - we will be happy to tell the world on your behalf.
