Download the NTLF Screensaver ЗЗ SUBMISSIONS ЗЗ The Forum encourages submissions on any aspect of college teaching and learning. The ideal article falls within a 1500 word limit and, following Thomas Sprat's praise of the Royal Society, holds to a style of writing that reflects a "close, naked, natural way of speaking." Normally, articles come from faculty, but other voices, including student voices, are welcome. Also, the symbiosis between our printed edition and our web site creates rich opportunities for posting ancillary materials to accompany submissions. Explore the archive of ancillary materials at www.ntlf.com, where you'll find video and audio clips as well as complete reports, charts and diagrams that would not fit easily on these 12 printed pages. Submit manuscripts to James Rhem at 301 South Bedford Street, #3, Madison, WI 53703 or via e‑mail at jrhem@chorus.net.
