Tbers,

This email is to make you aware of two Internet based resources that I find
very valuable in keeping up with issues in higher education and faculty
development. The first is POD, an excellent faculty development organization
you can participate in.  In particular, POD's listserv is often full of
excellent discussions about improving teaching and learning. You can find
out more about this by visiting their web site at:

http://www.podnetwork.org

The second is a technology called RSS (Really Simple Syndication) which is
popularly known as "podcasting" (no relation to POD mentioned above).  RSS
allows you to set up your computer to automatically go out on the Internet
and bring down programs of interest to you as they become available.
Software such as iTunes, Pluck, Feed Daemon, etc., which are all free
downloads, can be used to subscribe to these RSS feeds.  For example, the
John Merrow series on higher education can be subscribed to at:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/johnmerrow

If you would like to know more about either of these resources please
contact me. Remember, our next Teaching Breakfast get together is Oct. 5 at
8 am in Morris Hall.
