Active learning in the classroom can increase student engagement and improve learning outcomes but how can instructors be sure to include introverts in an environment that tends to favor extroverts? The article outlines a framework for thinking about engaging all learners without leaving introverts behind and details some simple techniques for doing so.

A set of concrete strategies for guiding class discussions on sensitive topics. There are also some themes which develop about the general environment for discussion, and students' understanding of the role of class discussion (as compared to other projects or homework) in the course.

"Both digital writing and information literacy call attention to today's interactive and multimodal information environments, which have both expanded and complicated the ways people use, create, and share information. As both composition instructors and librarians expand our conceptions of writing and of research, we may find that rhetoric becomes all the more essential for situating information literacy and writing."

"Collaboration reduces test anxiety" and "in most professional contexts, if you need an answer, consulting with others is almost always an option." How and why might you encourage students to practice collaborative skills in the traditionally isolated environment of a test or quiz?

Fascinating set of articles addressing the ways background music impacts memory, attention, mood, and task performance. (Really short version: quiet is usually better, but not for all tasks, and I'm interested in the ways improved mood and sense of control over the environment might counterbalance other distractors.)

"Maturity" is a complex topic in brain development. I liked the claim in the original article that "most neuroscientists are typically focused on the "journey"... more than when a brain reaches a particular "destination."" If parts of the brain are still maturing at 30, what does that imply about education?

"Transdisciplinary" work asks students to apply knowledge from diverse fields to a project in an environment which may seem tangential to their academic fields. The model in this article resonates with much that we've heard about community-engaged learning, but it also has implications for any interdisciplinary course.

An amusing letter about maintaining focus in the "always-on" mobile network environment. I fear, though, that if first-years actually saw this, it would read as something between "eat your broccoli" and "get off my lawn." (In fact, I fear it reads that way to staff and faculty too.)

At our ODEI/CIP book discussions, there was a lot of concern about stereotype threat. "Stereotype threat refers to being at risk of confirming, as self-characteristic, a negative stereotype about one's group." This stress has been linked to reduced performance in a number of academic and social areas. Put another way, recognizing and removing sources of stereotype threat can be a good way to create inclusive environments where everyone can succeed.
