The invisibility of the many in university classroom instruction sounds anachronistic in the age of the Internet, where learning is made meaningful by personal drives, personal choices, and personal possessions of learners. Reported here is a reconstructive effort at integration of teaching and learning by exploring the open nature and availability of the read/write Web in a pedagogic, hybrid course in China. This chapter is based on three key ideas: (1) learning community, (2) iterative learning process, and (3) reconstruction of personal conceptualizations through the dynamics of social discourse. By embodying target knowledge in the learning process, intuitive and reasoning powers of individual learners were shaped into primary driving forces through selective reading, classification tasks, and essay writing. In the intensive multi-level dialogues that followed, students reconstructed their personal conceptualizations of target knowledge, learning, and self-concepts, which were consolidated and developed further through monthly reflections and a term paper.

Classroom-based assessment (CBA) has been implemented globally at many levels of educational system such as in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Singapore, as well as in Africa. In Indonesia, CBA might effectively be implemented in all stages of education since this way of assessment offers improvement in the teaching and learning process. This essay explores the design and implementation of CBA, which focuses on academic EFL essay writing for teacher trainees in Indonesia. Based on my reflection on taking English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Academic Essay Writing class, I found that applying a classroom-based assessment could give two benefits. The first is for the improvement of the teaching and learning process in order to reach the study objectives. The second is to facilitate the study program for creating qualified and competent English language teachers in the area of producing competent academic essay writings.

At North Carolina A&T State University (NCATSU), there was a critical need to better coordinate genuine research and classroom experiences for undergraduates early in their academic career. We describe the development and implementation of a faculty alliance across academic departments to increase biomathematics research opportunities for underrepresented minorities. Our faculty alliance is called the Integrative Biomathematical Learning and Empowerment Network for Diversity (iBLEND). The fundamental purpose of the iBLEND alliance was to inspire underrepresented minorities to pursue research careers by increasing the visibility of research conducted at the interface of mathematics and biology at NCATSU. Because of the many positive impacts, iBLEND gained significant buy-in from administration, faculty, and students by 1) working from the ground up with administration to promote campus-wide biomathematics research and training, 2) fostering associations between research and regular undergraduate academic courses, 3) creating and disseminating biomathematics teaching and learning modules, and 4) enhancing learning community support at the interface of mathematics and biology. Currently, iBLEND is viewed as a productive site for graduate schools to recruit underrepresented minority students having specific competencies related to mathematical biology.
