There's a fair amount of interest at Kenyon in moving lecture out of class time. This article addresses the fine points of what you do, then, with the freed-up class time. Includes a bibliography for further reading.

A bibliography on service learning in the mathematics curriculum from the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse. One of the resources from this summer's institute on service learning.

This book looks at the teaching of historical thinking, specifically in the context of the abundance of digitized primary sources and the various ways students can make sense of those sources and present their work with computers. The bibliography has received compliments for its attention to learning theory.

A quick overview of the "emerging, interdisciplinary movement which looks to enhance and to redefine traditional humanities scholarship through digital means" from the Association of College and Research Libraries. A reasonably good quick overview; check out the excellent bibliography.

An example assignment from the HASTAC Pedagogy Project suggests having students submit their bibliographies in process to peer review. Getting students to review one another's sources can help them think about their own, and breaking out the research step fights the tendency to write the whole paper at the last minute. (A similar collaborative feature is available in RefWorks, a web-based citation manager available through Kenyon LBIS.)

A bibliography on service learning in STEM fields from the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse.

A list of six recent good books on teaching and learning. These are widely available in OhioLINK, and on the CIP bookcase.

An essay on six core titles on teaching and learning by Jose Bowen. (All 6 are in CONSORT and widely available in OhioLINK.) I particularly enjoyed Bowen's personal reflections on techniques he's taken from these books and applied in his own teaching of music.
