Abstract Inclusion across education contexts is critical to acknowledge and inspire the full potential of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). In the early stages of a postsecondary education program's development, peers and faculty are integral stakeholders to promoting an inclusive campus life. We conducted a campus-wide survey at a large public university to evaluate the perspectives of 1,867 faculty and students regarding their views of inclusion in student life and their attitudes toward prospective students with IDD. We incorporated a mixed-methods approach to summarize these views by using correlations, linear regression, and qualitative analysis of open-ended responses. We offer recommendations for research and practice aimed at increasing inclusive opportunities for students with IDD and their peers on college campuses.

The use of educational mobile applications (EMAs) to enhance student learning experience is gaining considerable interest across college campuses in the U.S. Some EMAs are more commendable than others because of their ability to effectively help students study lecture materials, learn new concepts, prepare for exams, and improve their overall academic performance. The aim of this commentary is to highlight the major EMAs currently available to pharmacy students while addressing the similarities and differences between them.   Type:  Commentary

Teaching is often seen as an isolated profession in which individual teachers work behind closed doors independentlyfrom other teachers. However, this view of teaching as primarily an individual activity belies the reality of modern,collaborative educational practices that most significantly impact student learning. In this study, we examineelementary teachers’ perspectives on common collaborative practices and discuss what teachers believe are the biggestbenefits of and barriers to teacher collaboration. The results from this investigative survey suggest that althoughteachers do not regularly participate in many collaborative activities, they believe that collaboration is valuable and aneffective use of their time.

Abstract In recent years, colleges and universities across the country have been called upon to increase the quality of education provided and to improve student retention rates. In response to this challenge, many faculty are exploring alternatives to the traditional “lecture-centered” approach of higher education in an attempt to increase student learning and satisfaction. Collaborative learning is one method of teaching, which has been demonstrated to improve student learning outcomes.

A class of 58 students in Introduction to Communication Disorders was divided into eight teams of approximately seven students each. The teams sat together all semester and participated in at least one team activity (team discussions, in-class written assignments, and team quizzes) in every class period. Teams also were used for taking roll and reviewing for examinations. There was no decline in student evaluation of the overall effectiveness of the course or in examination scores when compared to when this course was taught with half the number of students and no teams. Students evaluated the team experience highly and appeared to enjoy competition among teams. Using teams was successful in creating experiences that foster student learning as embodied in Chickering and Gameson’s principles of good practice.
