Grasha's 5 Teaching Styles Anthony Grasha identified the following five teaching styles as description of prevalent aspects of faculty presence in the classroom.

The "Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education," originally published in the AAHE Bulletin (Chickering & Gamson, 1987), are a popular framework for evaluating teaching in traditional, face-to-face courses. The principles are based on 50 years of higher education research (Chickering & Reisser, 1993). A faculty inventory (Johnson Foundation, "Faculty," 1989) and an institutional inventory (Johnson Foundation, "Institutional," 1989) based on these principles have helped faculty members and higher-education institutions examine and improve their teaching practices.

In part one of this two-part series, we discussed technology for overall communication and safety/security in schools. Today we highlight classroom learning technologies January 14, 2008 By Jenny Carless, News@Cisco It is not always easy to reach consensus on important education issues. Concerned people, all of whom have children's best interests at heart, may not be able to agree on content or strategies. But one thing a majority of Americans do agree on, according to a recent poll, is the importance of information technology to the future of learning and 21st century skills.

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), builds on Shulman's idea of PCK, and attempts to capture some of the essential qualities of knowledge required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching, while addressing the complex, multifaceted and situated nature of teacher knowledge. At the heart of the TPACK framework, is the complex interplay of three primary forms of knowledge: Content (CK), Pedagogy (PK), and Technology (TK).

In March 1987, the AAHE Bulletin first published "Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education." With support from Lilly Endowment, that document was followed by a Seven Principles Faculty Inventory and an Institutional Inventory (Johnson Foundation, 1989) and by a Student Inventory (1990). The Principles, created by Art Chickering and Zelda Gamson with help from higher education colleagues, AAHE, and the Education Commission of the States, with support from the Johnson Foundation, distilled findings from decades of research on the undergraduate experience.
