 | | Developed with the aid of a UCSB instructional improvement grant, the wiki is designed to serve both instructors and students by housing much of the evolving, shared institutional wisdom of the department--e.g., syllabi for often-taught courses, sample assignments, teaching materials, "best practices," interviews with veteran teachers, guides to research, writing, technology, and much more. |
 | | The UCSB Transcriptions Project is proud to announce its recent pedagogic and artistic foray into the online world of "Second Life," a popular 3-D virtual environment that first debuted for public use in 2003 and now supports over 30,000 concurrent users. |
