One of the primary goals of attending college is to become a critical thinker. As students evolve into lifelong learning they will have to navigate an incredible amount of information related to their studies and personal lives. The ability to explore their world will be dependent on their research and information literacy skills. In fact, when employers were asked about the information skills desired in new employees, they “placed a high premium on graduates’ abilities for searching online, finding information with tools other than search engines, and identifying the best solution from all the information they had gathered” (Head, 2012).
Critical Thinking in Academic Research will introduce students to the techniques and principles of critical thinking. However, a commitment to lifelong learning is required for critical thinking, it takes more that a single course or reading a book. In order for students to develop their own arguments, they need to find supporting evidence. This text provides guidance on developing research questions and finding resources to answer the questions.

Our purpose in this book is twofold. First, we introduce the basic skill set and knowledge base used by practicing instructional designers. We do this through chapters contributed by experts in the field who have either academic, research-based backgrounds, or practical, on-the-job experience (or both). Our goal is that students in introductory instructional design courses will be able to use this book as a guide for completing a basic instructional design project. We also hope the book is useful as a ready resource for more advanced students or others seeking to develop their instructional design knowledge and skills.

Please join the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) for a free and open webinar on Designing for Open Pedagogy. Open Pedagogy was first introduced by Lumen Learning co-founder David Wiley, as a way to capture how the use of OER can change educational practices. He relates that using OER in the same way as traditional textbooks is like driving an airplane down the road – it is missing out on what open can provide for student and teacher collaboration, engagement, and learning.

Developing OER champions involves empowering faculty members to lead the adoption, promotion, and integration of Open Educational Resources (OERs) within an institution. This project aims to develop and implement a structured program to cultivate OER (Open Educational Resources) champions. The primary goal is to create sustainable open education to enhance teaching and learning practices and nurture a supportive culture around open education. The program will equip the faculty with the skills, knowledge, and tools to integrate OER into their teaching and advocacy efforts. This faculty would be the established OER champions who will serve as role models and mentors to improve the quality of teaching and learning by utilizing freely accessible, customizable, and up-to-date resources, ultimately reducing textbook costs, enhancing resource accessibility, and fostering a culture of openness on campus and beyond.

The Measuring Digital Impact (MDI) project of the DX Initiative seeks to create a new blueprint for scaling the integration of continuous improvement processes into teaching and learning, including a measurement framework. For this project, the MDI grant team at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) has focused on one course, HUM 2023 Introduction to Humanities, a core curriculum course with high enrollment and high impact. This introductory survey course meets the creative arts core curriculum requirement for UTSA students.
For this project, the MDI grant team has developed a survey for faculty so that we can better understand their knowledge and comfort level with online course development and teaching before and after the redesign process, including measures with an equity focus, attempts to quantify student use of digital tools in an online course, and developing a plan to use UTSA’s formal course evaluation results, DFW rates and students grades as additional measures of student success with a focus on equity.
