Background: The following are webpages based upon questions that are either sent to me via email, or that I have made up based upon interactions with faculty, whether it be in the Committee on Teaching and Learning, the Online Academy, Gyrus presentations, Student Success grant groups, in service or flex day workshops, seminars, or phone calls and personal discussions. I do this as an inquirer who seeks to raise questions and concerns that seem to be relevant to others as well. This has been a year long experiment, starting with Summer Session '01 and concluding with Spring Semester '02.

I hope you find something of interest by scrolling down the page. Please send in any suggestions as they are most valuable to me. Thank you for your interest and participation.
