AASU Teaching & Learning Center
Solms Hall 209 |
AASU's Teaching & Learning Center, located in room 209 of Solms
Hall, is available to all AASU faculty and staff. The Center is open weekdays from 9
a.m. until 9 p.m. (other hours by appointment), and it may be reserved by AASU faculty for
meetings, workshops, classes, and conferences.
What is the purpose of the Teaching & Learning Center?
The T&LC serves a variety of
purposes. It is a meeting place for numerous
faculty committees and campus organizations, a seminar room for students and faculty in
the MALPS program, a well-equipped presentation room for special events, and, above all
else, a resource center for students, faculty, and staff.
What books are available in the Teaching & Learning Center?
Opened in spring 2004 and outfitted for the most part by members of the
Faculty Development Committee, the T&L Center has collected well over 200 books that
should be of interest to AASU faculty. Many
of the books, of course, explore the scholarship of teaching and provide insights into
effective teaching and learning. Enduring
texts such as Boyer’s Scholarship Reconsidered
(1990) and McKeachie’s Teaching Tips (now
in its 12th edition) sit side by side with Engaging the Online Learner (2004), Problem-Based Learning in the Information Age (2003),
and Advancing Faculty Learning Through
Interdisciplinary Collaboration (2005).
Other books in the Center focus on broader academic concerns:
developing support-systems for part-time faculty, facilitating student research, fostering
leadership skills, securing grants, achieving tenure.
The politics and prejudices of higher education are examined in such works as Women
and Minority Faculty in the Academic Workplace (2000), Declining by Degrees:
Education at Risk (2005), and The Knowledge Factory: Dismantling the Corporate
University and Creating True Higher Learning (2000).
Some of the studies are provocative (University, Inc.) while others are cathartic (Management Fads in Higher Education). Some inspire (Palmer’s The Courage to Teach); others amuse (Don’t Step in the Leadership).
Complete lists of the books (cataloged by authors' last names) currently available in the
Center can be downloaded as pdf files:

All faculty and graduate students are welcome to borrow any of the books in the Center.

are available in the Teaching & Learning Center?
