Resource Kit on Getting to Researchable Questions in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

This edition's Resource List features websites produced or recommended by some of VKP's independent investigators. These sites serve as models for using digital technology to advance multicultural teaching and learning.

The Heath Anthology of American Literature

http://college.hmco.com/english/lauter/heath/
4e/students/site_orientation/index.html

Web resource, created by Lois Leveen (with Eddie Maloney, GU's VKP Coordinator), for connecting a multicultural expansive approach to American literature to web-based primary cultural and historical resources. The website allows users to access titles in The Heath Anthology through several different organizational strategies: title, author, year of publication, and the print volume's table of contents. Also includes an online, expanded Instructor's Guide, a "dynamic, online community of instructors."

Reel American History

http://www.lehigh.edu/~ineng/ejg/rah.html

A student-produced archive for the study of film and American history, envisioned and administered by Ed Gallagher. The project seeks to foster critical thinking about the formation of the American national identity. The site provides students an opportunity for "comparing the available historical record with the dynamic art work." and invites them to "reflect on the nature and function of history." and "to experience the truth that history is constructed and to reflect on that experience."
