This book offers an interdisciplinary approach to the teaching of academic writing and information literacy in a new digital dimension, drawing on recent trends towards project-based writing, digital writing and multimodal writing in Education, and synthesising theory with practice to provide a handy toolkit for teachers and researchers. The author combines a practical orientation to teaching academic writing and information literacy with a grounding in current theories of writing instruction in the digitalized era, and argue that as digital environments become more universal in modern society - particularly in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic - the lines between traditional academic writing and multi-modal digital writing must necessary become blurred. This book will be of use to teachers and instructors of academic writing and information literacy, particularly within the context of English for Academic Purposes (EAP), as well as students and researchers in Applied Linguistics, Pedagogy and Digital Writing.

The present volume is the result of a pilot study and a workshop at Queensborough Community College that tried to integrate and discussed poetry as a new method of writing intensive pedagogy across the curriculum. Educators from several different disciplines - Art and Design, Biology, English, History, Philosophy, and Sociology - describe such methods and their teaching experiences in the classroom and highlight, how poetry has been and could be used for fruitful teaching and learning across the curriculum. The interdisciplinary pilot study and the discussions at the workshop, which are represented by the chapters in the present volume consequently emphasize the possibilities for the use of poetry at Community Colleges and U.S. undergraduate education in general. Contributors are: Kathleen Alves, Alison Cimino, Urszula Golebiewska, Joshua M. Hall, Angela Hooks, Frank Jacob, Shannon Kincaid, Susan Lago, Alice Rosenblitt-Lacey, Ravid Rovner, and Amy Traver.

School Space and its Occupation addresses the ongoing and pressing need for justification of education and environmental innovation. Further, the increasingly important work of evaluating the new learning spaces brings attention to the need for conceptual and methodological clarity. The editors have assembled a collection of leading authors to explore the links between education and design, progression of ideas in education and architecture, as well as making sense of pedagogical trends and spatial and design relevance. Post-occupancy evaluation is capable of informing both educational and architectural questions to generate sustainable adaptations for educators and designers. Part 2 focuses on the occupancy phase and examines the lived experience of schools to draw conclusions and make recommendations focused impacts and methodological progression.

In a world like today, man's very survival depends on his need and quest for Knowledge. Education is the vehicle to drive for this knowledge; Learning is the fuel that powers that vehicle's engine, which is Teaching. Engine and fuel components must be in good condition for a smooth operation of the vehicle. Our educational system has a malfunction in either or both of those components. As proof, President Obama cited a 50% High School drop out rate, when he recently proposed needed educational reform. Ineffective teaching or inadequate learning or both result in poor testing ability, which delays our journey to good education. Phil Labbe, from his school years and afterwards, discovered that learning from classroom only returned lower than expected test performance. Loving to learn, he realized that self-motivation, desire to learn on his own, plus classroom teaching, improved his learning potential and test results. He proved it to himself and to others. How and how much you learn make a difference. By taking an active part in his learning, the student/learner becomes selftutored; therefore, enters TUTOR YOURSELF. This book demonstrates that when students make a covenant with themselves to reach a definite goal, and condition themselves to follow strategies to enhance learning, they succeed with good test performances, higher grades, graduation and a good job. Unless we develop our innate skills for learning, it is very difficult to improve our lot. In this context, Phil Labbe developed and completed the method HOW TO PASS ALL TESTS. Tests are very important. While there is no known panacea against failing, the approach in this book shows that Active Learning does lead to more successful test passing. This book could give students a leg up in their "Race to the Top"(Reform campaign just launched by Education Dept.). It is a race that so vitally needs to be won.
