  • the role of technology in the individualization or standardization of teaching and learning;
  • possible explanations for (and responses to) the decline in student purchase of assigned textbooks;

PTR, the post-tenure review list.

At a number of of American universities faculty are being asked to develop or conform to new sorts of evaluation. Usually but not always these focus on teaching: sometimes they include teaching, service, and research. It seems appropriate that faculty should have a neutral clearing-house of information on this topic. Now there is one: PTR, the post-tenure review list. To sign on, send the following message to listserv@listserv.temple.edu:
