CTL Lunch Series
The Center for Teaching and Learning Lunch Series, established in Spring of 2002, provides a forum for faculty and others to learn about and discuss issues relevant to teaching and learning at CLU. (View archived sessions at www.callutheran.edu/ctl/lunch/past_lunch_series.php.)
Each session of the series is held either in the CTL lab (SBET 136) or in the downstairs SBET conference room #127). We meet from 12 - 12:50 on Thursdays and lunch is provided.
If you would like to propose a topic or to lead a Series session, please contact Joan Wines at x3277.

"Any Textbook. Any Content. Any Device." Demonstration and Discussion :The cost of textbooks has risen twice as fast as other costs in higher education. Research indicates that more than one-third of all students go without one or more textbooks each year, driving students, parents, faculty, and school leaders to actively look for ways to cut textbooks costs. Courseload offers an electronic version of any textbook on any web-enabled device for one-third to one-half of the price of a traditional printed textbook." (Courseload ) |
