"Student As Scholar" Blog Launched

The "Student As Scholar" blog was formally created on July 25 2008. The Blog is
devoted to documenting relevant literature that supports the view that :

"Undergraduate education should adopt the "Student as Scholar" Model
throughout the curriculum, where scholar is conceived in terms of an attitude,
an intellectual posture, and a frame of mind derived from the best traditions
of an engaged liberal arts education. With this framework, not only each
research project, but also each course, is viewed as an integrated, and
integrating, part of the student experience."

"From Convocation to Capstone: Developing the Student as Scholar"

David Hodge, Kira Pasquesi, Marissa Hirsh / Miami University ; Paul LePore /
University of Washington

It is a companion to the Facebook Global Group "Student As Scholar / Scholar As
Scholar" which is intended to serve as a forum and venue in which members are
invited to contribute to a never-ending conversation about "Student As Scholar"
models and to document personal experiences and institutional initiatives.

The "Student As Scholar" Blog  is located

The "Student As Scholar" has been seeded with links to a more recent
presentation by David C.  Hodge titled

"From Inquiry To Discovery:  Developing The Student As Scholar In A Networked
World"

BTW: I  Highly Recommend The WebCast and The PPT.
[It provides an Outstanding Introduction and Overview of the SAS Model]

Please Contribute Citations/Links to Any and All Relevant Literature As
Comments, ...  and Subscribe to the WebFeed.

Thanks!
