Have great winter break!
It's still Fall semester, and it will only get crazier! So when you are ready to start planning your Spring courses, don't forget about us! We're happy to help with research assignments in design, support, and instruction for resources. We can also help with finding course materials via that will be free to your students. It is never too early to contact us!
You may or may not have noticed a new addition to our EBSCO databases where you can now directly request for things through interlibrary loan.
What is interlibrary loan? Interlibrary loan is a free service that allows you to request full-text materials when not immediately available through the library. You just have to fill out the form, and we will get to work! It can take some time (so plan ahead!), but we love helping you out.
Since implementing this new request method, we've seen requests increase over 6 times, and we love it!
You can find more events at http:/library.tiffin/events.
Education Is Not an App by
Whilst much has been written about the doors that technology can open for students, less has been said about its impact on teachers and professors. Although technology undoubtedly brings with it huge opportunities within higher education, there is also the fear that it will have a negative effect both on faculty and on teaching standards. Education Is Not an App offers a bold and provocative analysis of the economic context within which educational technology is being implemented, not least the financial problems currently facing higher education institutions around the world. The book emphasizes the issue of control as being a key factor in whether educational technology is used for good purposes or bad purposes, arguing that technology has great potential if placed in caring hands.
Quality in the Undergraduate Experience by Students, parents, and government agencies need as much information as possible about the outcomes of the higher education experience and the extent to which they can expect a fair return on their investment in higher education.In order to better understand the concept of quality - enabling students to acquire knowledge in a variety of disciplines and deep knowledge in at least one discipline, as well as to develop a range of skills and habits of mind that prepare them for career success, engaged citizenship, intercultural competence, social responsibility, and continued intellectual growth.
