Effective teaching doesn't happen in isolation; the practice and profession of teaching involves engagement in a community of teaching scholars.

The 2011 Online Teaching Showcase (OTS) featured a host of teaching scholars sharing their strategies to enhance student engagement in the online classroom. See the 2011 OTS (http://cirt.gcu.edu/teaching/ots/2011ots) to view tips and tricks from your colleagues to more actively engage your online students.

You are invited to contribute to the 2012 Online Teaching Showcase focusing on CRITICAL THINKING. For more information (including submission timeline and requirements), see the call for papers at http://cirt.gcu.edu/teaching/ots.
