From the Publisher
The cases that constitute this volume represent work in progress by faculty selected as Carnegie Scholars with the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL). Each of the eight authors tells the story of her or his efforts at “opening lines” of inquiry into significant issues in the teaching and learning of the field. In particular, their accounts focus on the doing of this kind of investigative work – that is, on methods and approaches for undertaking the scholarship of teaching and learning. Opening Lines includes a cd-rom of supplementary documents, tools and resources.
