BOOKS
Hutchings, Pat, ed. The Course Portfolio: How Faculty Can Examine Their Teaching to Advance Practice and Improve Student Learning. American Association for Higher Education: 1998.

Cousin to the teaching portfolio, which documents a broad sampling of a faculty member's pedagogical work, the course portfolio focuses instead on the unfolding of a single course, from conception to results. The volume covers: defining features and functions, steps in development, audiences and occasions for use, and the course portfolio's place in the development of a scholarship of teaching and learning. It also includes nine case studies by faculty in a range of disciplines who have developed and used course portfolios, plus an annotated resource list. Course portfolios are an important and powerful tool for improvement because they put the focus not simply on teacher practice but on its impact on student learning. (1998, 132pp) edited by Pat Hutchings, with an introductory chapter by Lee S. Shulman
