LITERACY: IMPLICATIONS OF
TECHNOLOGY FOR THE CONTENT OF A COLLEGE EDUCATION
By Stephen C. Ehrmann
Technology has become an integral tool for learning

and resources available to the student and enhances
the role of the faculty.

COMPUTING, RESEARCH, AND TEACHING:
A HUMANITIES TRIFECTA!
By Martha Nell Smith
Digital humanities reveal the changes in humanities
knowledge production. New editorial practices are
possible--and required--by the environments the
new media create. New technologies are the basis
of these changes.

ACTIVITIES AND STUDENT BEHAVIOR: REALIZING THE PROMISE
OF GREATER EXPECTATIONS
By George D. Kuh, Thomas F. Nelson Laird, and
Paul D. Umbach
Based on the National Survey of Student Engagement
and the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement, a study

PERSPECTIVES
- 1945--OPENING
THE DOORS OF OPPORTUNITY:
LIBERAL EDUCATION AND THE VETERANS
By Francis P. Gaines
The GI Bill was a turning point in access to higher
education. AAC&U member institutions played a
role in adapting higher education to the influx of
adult men and women turning to higher education under
the GI Bill. The spirit of the 1945 Annual Meeting
dealing with this phenomenon is conveyed in a radio
address by a member president.
- RESCUING WRITING INSTRUCTION:
HOW TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY WITH TECHNOLOGY
By Peshe C. Kuriloff
The computer has significantly changed methods of
writing instruction. A five-year initiative developed
methods of teaching writing that capitalize on electronic
technology. Comparison of the outcomes of the project
with traditional writing instruction demonstrated
the efficiencies gained and improvements in student
learning.
- LINKING
LIBERAL AND PROFESSIONAL LEARNING
IN NURSING EDUCATION
By Mary L. Hermann
Learning in the liberal arts and sciences is essential
to educate thoughtful and humane professional nurses.
Liberal education complements the technical components
of nursing education. In the twenty-first century,
linking liberal education to professional nursing
education takes on renewed importance.
- THEATRE STUDIES AS A PRACTICAL LIBERAL EDUCATION
By Nancy Kindelan
The pedagogies and practices of theatre studies advance
liberal education outcomes. Critical analysis, respect
for human and cultural diversity, knowledge of the
cultural context of a script, all contribute to the
students' educational development.
MY VIEW
- REFLECTIONS
ON THE CULTURAL CLIMATE OF PLAGIARISM
By Matthew S. Willen
Does the campus culture create conditions that support
winning at any cost--even by cheating?
