MountainRise: the scholarship of teaching and learning This new electronic journal includes both computer-aided instruction and distance learning. " MountainRise is an open, peer-reviewed, international electronic journal published twice a year by the Coulter Faculty Center for Excellence in Teaching & Learning at Western Carolina University for the purpose of being an international vehicle for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (SoTL).  By applying scholarly methodologies to the processes of teaching and learning, making that reflection and research public and open to critique, and thereby enabling a body of knowledge to develop, be reviewed and revised, the intellectual foundation, vision and practice of teaching are emphasized and enhanced. Such scholarship can be an important way to stimulate a new renaissance of teaching & learning for the betterment and enjoyment of all involved in the educational process, thereby expressing why the scholarship of teaching & learning is a legitimate form of scholarship and why teaching & learning scholarship could be a significant factor in making exploration and excellence of teaching and learning a keystone of academic cultures." I saw an announcement about this journal in DEOS-L and want to pass it on. _____JH 9:32:02 AM    COMMENT []
