Designing courses to deliver effective teaching and significant learning is the best way to set students up for success, and this book guides readers through the process. The authors have worked with faculty world-wide, and share the stories of how faculty have transformed courses from theory to practice. They start with Dee Fink's foundation of integrating course design. Then they provide additional design concepts to expand the course blueprint to implement plans for communication, accessibility, technology integration, as well as the assessment of course design as it fits into the assessment of programs and institutions, and how faculty can use what they learn to meet their professional goals.

The rush to war, the loss of loved ones, the deep wounds of a five-year conflictthe intense emotions of the American Civil War are brought to life through the songs and instrumental music of the day. Now, 150 years after the start of the war, Anne Enslow and Ridley Enslow have produced a music CD that features both familiar Civil War songs such as The Battle Hymn of the Republic and lesser known but haunting melodies like The Vacant Chair. The musicians include pianist Jacqueline Schwab, whose distinctive playing was heard on Ken Burnss highly-acclaimed Civil War documentary, celebrated fiddler John Kirk, and noted balladeer Linda Russell. Includes 32-page liner notes. A free educator's guide is available at enslow.com.
