Informing Faculty - An International Journal of Higher Education Discussion Cases
Informing Faculty, located at http://informingfaculty.org/ is an online journal providing cases for reflection by faculty. Informing Faculty’s mission is “to serve as the premier source of refereed discussion cases that address the challenges faced by faculty members participating in higher education across the globe.”
They are currently inviting faculty members in higher education to submit case studies relating to situations that they or their colleagues have faced or are facing. These case studies should be designed to encourage thoughtful discussions of the issues involved, in a classroom, workshop or online setting. There is already one full issue posted. At the present time, the principle focus is on publishing cases addressing challenges stemming from:
- Implementation of innovative technologies for teaching
- Adoption of new pedagogies or procedures in a course setting
- Developing new courses or curricula to accommodate the increasing diversity of the student body and to address regulatory issues
- Balancing teaching and other career demands in an increasingly demanding academic environment
Cases that fall outside of these areas, but are nonetheless consistent with the mission of Informing Faculty, will also be considered. The journal is published in both printed form and online. Printed versions are prepared annually, while online versions of cases are posted upon acceptance.
