Notes and News
By Ireta Ekstrom

Hello everyone,

I don't know about you, but temperatures hovering around zero just make me want to curl up by the fire and read a good book. With that cozy picture in mind, check out our list of books to review – maybe one will catch your eye. We'll send the book on to you and the book is free – all we ask is a one to two page review.

Our article this month is by Nancy Csapo from the Business Information Systems Department titled The Role of Learning Styles in Effective Teaching. It's a concise overview of how learning styles affect student learning. Dan Gall wrote this month's book review on Teaching & Learning Through Inquiry edited by Virginia S. Lee.  

The new FaCIT website is up so check out our fresh, updated look. We've been working on this for several months and hope you find it even easier and more convenient to find what you need for teaching and learning.

Check out the many new opportunities for improving skills in Blackboard that are available in the next few weeks. Also note that the First Friday’s for Faculty in March is Taking Control of Your Time.

The Lilly North conference Call for Proposals is open – don’t forget to prepare your proposals.

Until next time,
