IMPACT: The Journal of the Center for Interdisciplinary Teaching and Learning. Volume 8, Issue 1, Winter 2019
IMPACT: The Journal of the Center for Interdisciplinary Teaching & Learning is a peer-reviewed, biannual online journal that publishes scholarly and creative non-fiction essays about the theory, practice and assessment of interdisciplinary education. Impact is produced by the Center for Interdisciplinary Teaching & Learning at the College of General Studies, Boston University (www.bu.edu/cgs/citl).In this issue of Impact you will find a humanities scholar deeply engaged with the arcing out of a new territory: the interdisciplinary study of the Grateful Dead. Impact’s own Christopher Coffman’s review essay should be required reading for scholars of popular music, performance studies and history. His review also serves as an important reference for those who aspire to teach a course on the Grateful Dead, as well as for those who wish to write review essays. In this issue we also hear from those who are engaged in teaching people who are incarcerated. Importantly, Stephanie Cage’s essay looks to incarcerated people themselves to find out what they think about prison education. Peter Wakefield encourages us to see The Great Gatsby anew, in particular in the context of American racism and White supremacy. Wakefield’s essay is important too because it had its genesis in Writing, the State, and the Rise of Neo-Nationalism: Historical Contexts and Contemporary Concerns, a conference sponsored by the Center for Interdisciplinary Teaching & Learning
Going Remote: Actionable Insights from Indiana University’s Transition to Remote Instruction due to COVID-19
On March 10, 2020, Indiana University (IU) announced the suspension of in-person instruction due to COVID-19. At that time, the eLearning Research and Practice Lab, a laboratory within the Indiana University Pervasive Technology Institute, began preparing to conduct a full-census survey of all undergraduates and instructors across all IU campuses. The study’s purpose was to examine student and instructor experiences of the transition to remote instruction, and to identify actionable insights that may improve instruction during future semesters. This report was prepared and distributed internally at IU, in order to provide rapid evidence-based recommendations for instructional practice.This study was made possible by support from the IU Office of the Vice President for Research and from Schmidt Futures, a philanthropic initiative co-founded by Eric and Wendy Schmidt
