Teaching, Learning, and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
The ultimate goal of the CSTL is to enhance the quality of teaching and learning campus-wide. To this end, the Center sponsors a number of services and programs intended to stimulate, support, and reward pedagogical innovation, the use of instructional technology, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.

The efforts of the Center are facilitated through work of two key committees –the Teaching Associates and the Technology Associates—and two support offices: The Office of Instructional Technology (OIT) and the CSTL Faculty Associate. Together, they work with the Director to design and implement strategies, initiatives, and programs that enhance teaching and learning. In recent years, these efforts have enabled the CSTL to become a leading voice in the scholarship of teaching and learning.

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at Southeast operates at two distinct, yet related, levels; one internal, the other external. Internally, the scholarship of teaching and learning is supported and rewarded through the SoTL Fellows Program. Externally, it is built upon the Center’s association with the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL). An active leader in both domains, the CSTL focuses on one common goal: building and maintaining a community of teacher-scholars among and across college campuses.

Microsoft FrontPage being Discontinued
Microsoft has announced that the FrontPage product line is being discontinued gradually. Two new products, SharePoint Designer and Expression Web, are replacing the current FrontPage clients. But FrontPage 2003 will be fully supported until January 2009, and Microsoft will keep releasing security patches as needed after that until 2014. What does this mean for faculty at Southeast? Read the FrontPage FAQ to learn more.
