The
P.R.O.B.E.© Learning Journal:
A Bridge from Classroom Learning
into a Student’s Life
By Dr. Michael
J. Stacey, Central Michigan University,
and Professor Robert M. Halliday, Quinnipiac
University
The P.R.O.B.E.© Learning
Journal is a three-part journal that
students can use to process their
experiences. The journaling process
can be applied either in the classroom
or in their home environment. Both
authors have utilized the journal
with their students. Professor
Stacey uses the journal with his
education and interpersonal competence
classes and Professor Halliday with
groups in his team development and
organizational development classes
(Halliday, Luoma, & Cadden, 2007).
What follows is a review of the P.R.O.B.E.© learning
model, the journal’s content
sections as well as the authors’ practical
experiences with these approaches. <learn

Book Review
“Learning
through Serving: A Student Guidebook
for Service-Learning across the Disciplines” by
Christine M. Cress, Peter J. Collier,
Vicki L. Reitenauer and associates
Review by Jacquie Osborn, Saginaw
Valley State University
As a member of a team
that has been providing service-learning
opportunities to university students
for more than six years, I believe
this text does an excellent job of
presenting a comprehensive look at
what such projects are all about.
One of the most noticeable
attributes is the organization of
the text. It is well-organized
with ten chapters divided into four
parts, taking the student from the
background of service-learning, through
the nuts and bolts of processes and
projects, to the end and beyond. <learn

Blackboard
Tip
Personalize
a Course Shell
By Ireta Ekstrom
The settings button
under course options has some interesting
ways to personalize each course shell.
For example, you can modify the course
name and description of each course
so it is easily identifiable: PSY101
can become Monday morning PSY101.
Then if you teach another section
of the same course, it can be Tuesday
afternoon PSY101. <learn
