Enhancing the Seven Practices, Syllabus
...The "seven practices of good teaching," first published in the March 1987 American Association of Higher Education bulletin by Arthur Chickering and Zelda Gamson, has become the most frequently used yardstick of teaching effectiveness.... The seven practices are an important element in both the logical and empirical proofs. From numerous studies that have nothing to do with technology we know that learning increases when there is more interaction and quicker feedback between students and their professors, when students (and siblings) help each other learn, and when students have access to the same material in multiple formats. Furthermore, in computer-enhanced courses when communication between faculty and students is more frequent and timely, more collaboration occurs among students, and students have access to a broader range of materials and people. Finally, it is only logical to conclude that because computers enable more interaction, collaboration, and customization, there is more learning.
