Finding our inner voices: Rediscovering scholarship

This essay explores the need to reconsider how we define, reward, and support scholarship, and the philosophical foundation of what a scholar really is. Noting that only 10 to 15% of the professoriate regularly publish, the author questions if some faculty become stymied and distanced from their work because of the gap that exists between what they want to do and what their institutions expect them to do. Could more faculty find their voices as scholars and public intellectuals if universities and colleges ascribed more value to the scholarships of teaching, practice, and service? The surprising results of a survey of members of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education are included.

New Tools for Timeless Work: Technological Advances in Creative Writing Pedagogy

Creative Writing has always been at the forefront of experimentation. New ideas and practices keep the field vital and relevant, and Creative Writing teachers should maintain this tradition by taking advantage of new tools and pedagogical practices. Technology, which has changed more in the past three generations than in all prior generations combined, is the key to advancing Creative Writing in the twenty-first-century classroom. Weblogs, wikis, e-mail workshops, discussion boards, MOO communities and creative writing software are some of the new tools available. This paper introduces these tools and offers ways in which they may improve the quality of Creative Writing experiences in Higher Education.
