Opening Lines: Approaches to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

Edited by Pat Hutchings. Menlo Park, CA: The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, 2000.


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. The book includes a cd-rom of supplementary documents, tools and resources.
