The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) is one of the most dynamic areas of research in the field of higher education today in which faculty continuously evaluate the quality of their teaching and its affect on student learning. Faculty are being held accountable for the effectiveness of their teaching and in turn they are starting to engage in SoTL-related intellectual exchanges not only in their research agendas but also in the ways in which they teach their students in the classroom. At the heart of this new movement, there is a simple idea: take a close look at how you teach and how your students learn, use the same methodology that you would use for formal investigations (be it in the humanities or sciences), and hold your research to the same standards most notably peer review. Optimizing Teaching and Learning will serve as a guide for anyone who is interested in improving their teaching, the learning of their students, and at the same time contribute to the scholarship of teaching and learning. It bridges the gap between the research and practice of SoTL, with explicit instructions on how to design, conduct, analyze, and write-up pedagogical research, including samples of actual questionnaires and other materials (e.g., focus group questions) that will jumpstart investigations into teaching and learning. It also explores the advantages and disadvantages of various pedagogical practices and present applications of SoTL using case studies from a variety of disciplines. This book will serve as an invaluable resource for both seasoned faculty and new faculty who are just beginning to assess their teaching methods and learn how to think beyond the content.

The mission of higher education in the 21st century must focus on optimizing learning for all students. In a shift from prioritizing effective teaching to active learning, it is understood that computer-enhanced environments provide a variety of ways to reach a wide range of learners who have differing backgrounds, ages, learning needs, and expectations. Integrating technology into teaching assumes greater importance to improve the learning experience. Optimizing Higher Education Learning Through Activities and Assessments is a collection of innovative research that explores the link between effective course design and student engagement and optimizes learning and assessments in technology-enhanced environments and among diverse student populations. Its focus is on providing an understanding of the essential link between practices for effective “activities” and strategies for effective “assessments,” as well as providing examples of course designs aligned with assessments, positioning college educators both as leaders and followers in the cycle of lifelong learning. While highlighting a broad range of topics including collaborative teaching, active learning, and flipped classroom methods, this book is ideally designed for educators, curriculum developers, instructional designers, administrators, researchers, academicians, and students.

Higher learning has seen an increase in web-based distance education programs, which coincides with advancements made in educational technologies. As these programs are on the rise, it becomes increasingly more important to ensure that instructional designers are prepared to accommodate the needs of these academic institutions. Developing a culture of collaboration through the optimization of instructional design methods is part of the profession’s identity but has gotten overshadowed by the pressures of thinking of courses as products. Optimizing Instructional Design Methods in Higher Education is an essential reference source that discusses the importance of collaboration, training, and the use of new and existing models in supporting instructional designers to formalize and optimize curriculum development in higher education. It covers the importance of adapting, adjusting, and re-evaluating models based on learner needs in relation to both the process of learning and outcomes. Featuring research on topics such as human resource development, academic programs, and faculty development, this book is ideally designed for educators, academicians, researchers, and administrators seeking coverage to support design thinking and innovation that encourages student learning.

Traditional teaching methods often struggle to meet the diverse and dynamic needs of both educators and students. The persistent challenge of retaining knowledge, exacerbated by the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, continues to hinder effective teaching. Moreover, the burden of mental fatigue resulting from long, uninspiring lectures and information overload plagues the learning experience. As educators grapple with these issues, the need for a more efficient and engaging pedagogical approach becomes increasingly urgent. Optimizing Education Through Micro-Lessons: Engaging and Adaptive Learning Strategies is a groundbreaking compendium of insights from eighteen distinguished authors. This meticulously curated volume provides a transformative solution to the problems plaguing contemporary education. Micro-lessons, concise learning units spanning just 1 to 10 minutes, and accessible across multiple devices, hold the key to unlocking superior learning outcomes and bolstering retention rates. In this book, academic scholars, educators, and policymakers will find a comprehensive guide that not only explores the theory behind micro-lessons but also offers practical strategies for their effective implementation.

This book is a fictionalized account of one teacher’s effort in applying process improvement principles to her teaching practices. Lisa’s story is based on actual practice, and resulted in an innovative application of the lean waste-elimination approach to classroom teaching and learning. It also resulted in Lisa completing the delivery of her entire curriculum in the school year in a way that allowed students to master the material, as evidenced by significant growth in student performance scores on the standardized achievement test in her content area. The methods and tools described are based on proven lean techniques and sound education practice. Lean is a program of organizational improvement that empowers each and every worker in a school system—from student through superintendent—to increase his or her personal performance and job satisfaction through process improvement. Lean engages everyone in streamlining his or her work processes by identifying and eliminating the steps within each process that are wasteful, unnecessary, or do not contribute value to—and may even prohibit the person from doing or completing—the work. By incorporating a value-adding approach system-wide, schools can become more efficient in their operations and more effective at delivering their services, optimize the learning performance of all students, and create a culture of success and satisfaction for all. Includes an introduction by Norman Bodek. "An inspiring story of how good management can work wonders in the classroom. Great, jargon-free examples of lean principles applied to the critically important work of teaching our children. This is a must-read for teachers and parents...Wonderful book and an enjoyable read!" Dr. Peter Ward Richard Ross Chair in Management, Fisher College of Management, Ohio State University Chairman, LEAN Academic Network "The value of this book is demonstrating ultimately the process of continuous improvement applied to students in the classroom who see themselves as a team learning how to continuously improve upon an improvement process. It also demonstrates clearly how lean principles can be adapted to the classroom, because an educational system is replete with many “processes revolving around the delivery of instructional services." Dr. Mary Jane Guy Professor of Education Leadership Winona State University "After reading Optimizing Student Learning, I was so inspired to take a hard look at my classroom and how I could improve it. I took immediate steps to begin putting the information from the book into practice including, chunking the curriculum, utilizing short cycle assessment more effectively, and teaching basic study skills that can be used in all subject areas. I was amazed at the results...No matter where you are in your teaching career, this book has something to offer you. You owe it to yourself and your students to check it out for yourself. Although the premise of organization and pre-planning is a major theme in teacher preparation programs, the plan as put forth here is also designed to enhance teaching and learning for everyone."
