Are you interested in publishing on the work that goes on in your classroom?

This short course combines individual or small group coaching sessions with self-paced modules that give you the knowledge and tools you need to conceptualize, design, implement, analyze, and publish a teaching and learning research/scholarship project.

The course requires a 1-4 hour commitment per week over an approximately four week period, but these hours are highly flexible. You will leave with a full plan for and good head start on a manuscript for publication, as well as a certificate of participation.

The course is open to Penn State instructors of all ranks, including graduate students and post-docs.

Registration is limited, early reservations are encouraged.
