The thumbnail came out too small to read on my computer. This is an excerpt from a white paper about technology in health profession education that speaks to the need for faculty development opportunities in the effective use of educational technologies. Thank you ALT lab and OLE for your work to meet this need!

Pretty interesting example of public undergrad research writing about the impact of depleted uranium in Iraq and Kuwait.

There is in his syllabus no compromise with expediency, no taking for granted of power structures, nothing but rigorous honesty and tireless interrogation; there is some feeling or hope that if you could put every single thing under the sun into words you can head off sorrow, frustration, resentment, missed communication, thwarted ambition. Wallace refuses the habitual patterns and usual fictions that govern a classroom. His syllabus warns: "If you are used to whipping off papers the night before they're due, running them quickly through the computer's Spellchecker, handing them in full of high-school errors and sentences that make no sense and having the professor accept them 'because the ideas are good' or something, please be informed that I draw no distinction between the quality of one's ideas and the quality of those ideas' verbal expression, and I will not accept sloppy, rough-draftish, or semiliterate college writing. Again, I am absolutely not kidding."
