Many of us have heard about this, and some of us have met informally over a few lunches to discuss the literature related to this, as it eventually may involve several of us.

Good news: the latest is that it appears David will have a hand (with others) in writing the proposal for the Universities involvement in this Bush grant!

Thats the summary version anyway--ask David if you have any questions!

For the past several months, the evidence-based pedagogy group (Ilene Alexander, Kate Martin, Colleen Meyers, Jane O'Brien, Christina Petersen, and Bill Rozaitis) worked on a redesign of the online journals site with the goals of providing staff expertise and stewardship to the selection of specific journals, creating a site that is easier to navigate, and highlighting timely information and/or trends in educational research. Chris Parker and Viviane Boluda created the final product that you can check out at http://www1.umn.edu/ohr/teachlearn/resources/journals/index.html. Your feedback is most welcome!
