Also browse higher education organizations.

My most favorite sites aren't those filled with teaching tips, but ones that invite faculty to think about the power of the Internet as a means of reinventing their teaching and enhancing it (and their research) with renewed energy and power.

The English Department at the University of Pennsylvania

http://www.english.upenn.edu/
The English Department maintains a site that is a model of selectivity and comprehensiveness at the same time. For anyone doing humanities research, its offerings and its links prove in a moment or two that the Internet is now not only an indispensable research tool, but an incredibly exciting one as well.

New Tools for Teaching

http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/~jod/teachdemo/teachdemo.html
"New Tools for Teaching" offers provocative essays by professor of philosophy Jim O'Donnell. O'Donnell not only speaks very thoughtfully about teaching and the net, but offers some recent personal experience in teaching in this global classroom that is truly inspiring.

Instructional Development Office, George Mason University

http://www.ido.gmu.edu/
The web site created by the instructional development office at George Mason University stands as a model of its kind. Here, in addition to listings of software, resources, workshops, training and so on available to faculty through the office, you'll find a rotating showcase of faculty interviews focusing on how actual faculty are using computer and Internet resources to enhance their teaching.

The Searle Center for Teaching Excellence

http://president.scfte.nwu.edu/
The Searle Center for Teaching Excellence maintains a web site featuring faculty essays from its newsletter, "The Class Act" in addition to announcing its programs and offering the usual sorts of resources. There is an air of quality and thoughtfulness about this site not always found on teaching center webpages.

Educational Development Resource Centre

http://hednet.polyu.edu.hk/
The Hong Kong site offers a huge number of links to teaching and learning resources of all kinds. Called the "Educational Development Resource Centre" and maintained by Hong Kong Polytechnic University, it contains material in six broad categories: teaching and learning, educational research, higher education management, Internet services, and categories called "general items" and "education items." The quality of the linked sites varies enormously, but starting here may prove less frustrating than sorting through a very general Yahoo search on teaching and learning.

College Teaching Encyclopedia

http://www.msc.wku.edu/Dept/Support/AcadAffairs/CTL/cte.htm
This site being compiled by Sally Kuhlenschmidt at Western Kentucky University offers what it bills as the "College Teaching Encyclopedia." The site includes three categories of links 1) Instructional Information Web Sites, which offer answers to questions regarding college instruction, 2) Discipline-Specific Web Sites where professional organizations have developed material especially relevant to their discipline, and 3) Professor's Tool Kit which includes general purpose web links (style manuals, reference books). The Instructional Information section offers a wide variety of basic tips and suggestions.

A Berkeley Compendium of Suggestions for Teaching

http://uga.berkeley.edu/sled/compendium/
The most venerable computerized collection of teaching tips, this compendium from the University of California at Berkeley offers suggests on how to cope with just about every problem that comes along in college teaching. Its author is Barbara Gross Davis who authored a similar collection of advice called Tools for Teaching (Jossey-Bass, 1993).

American Association for Higher Education (AAHE)

http://www.aahe.org
The American Association for Higher Education (AAHE) is a national organization of more than 8,500 individuals dedicated to improving the quality of higher education. AAHE members share two convictions: that higher education should play a more central role in national life, and that each of our institutions can be more effective.

DeLiberations

http://www.lgu.ac.uk/deliberations/
"A Web Site for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education," administered by Graham Alsop of London Guildhall University, DeLiberations is a comprehensive site devoted to an extensive web presence for teaching and learning resources with a higher ed focus. Coming out of the U.K, it showcases resources more familiar there than in the United States. That's one of the site's big attractions: it can very quickly broaden your perspective on teaching and learning in higher education and plug you in to a whole new world of resources at the same time.

Higher Education Abstracts

http://www.cgu.edu/inst/hea/hea.html
Higher Education Abstracts is a leading resource for higher education faculty and administrators. Published by The Claremont Graduate University, Higher Education Abstracts is a quarterly journal, providing more than 400 informative abstracts in each issue and covering journal articles, books, papers, and reports.
