Summer Pedagogy Reading

It is nearly the end of another June, so this will be my last SoTL article for the AY 2019-20. I will begin to post again in mid-August 2020. For today's blog, I would like to share a list of pedagogy books for your consideration for summer reading.

Stachowiak (2020) shared a list of Online Learning Books in Ed Surge, highlights include:

1. Intentional Tech: Principles to Guide the Use of Ed Tech in College Teaching by Derek Bruff (2019) helps align learning outcomes with relevant technology.

2. Best Practices for Teaching with Emerging Tech by Michelle Pacansky-Brock (2020) will assist you to select low-cost, practical tools to support learning.

3. Small Teaching Online: Applying Learning Science in Online Classes by Flower Darby and James M. Lang (2019) shares ideas on how to engage learners and how to structure courses to support learning.

4. Learning Innovation and the Future of Higher Education by Joshua Kim and Edward Maloney (2020) explores the context of online, shows how it exists within a larger body of scholarship, and gives examples of how this scholarship is being used on campuses.

5. Innovating Pedagogy 2020 by Kukulska-Hulme et al, explores new forms of teaching, learning and assessment, to guide educators and policy makers.

6. High-Impact Practices (HIPs) in Online Education Research and Best Practices by Linder and Hayes (2018) offers a comprehensive guide to how HIPs are being implemented online and how they can be adjusted to meet the needs of online learners. This multi-disciplinary approach will assist faculty to effectively implement HIPs in online programs.

I hope that everyone enjoys the next two months, whether you are researching, teaching online, redesigning your course, traveling, and/or spending time with your family. However you spend your time, I do hope that you can relax, and perhaps reflect on a very different spring academic term. I look forward to continuing to share SoTL research in August!
