This review is from: The Social Worlds of Higher Education: Handbook for Teaching in a New Century (Paperback)
This is an impressive collection of 60+ articles on teaching and learning. Don't be confused by the title, it isn't just for sociology, it can help all teachers in college or university. There is also a CD included that has 70+ other articles and resources you can use. It should help me as I write my own articles but also as I design new courses and revamp old ones. I'm glad it was recommended to me at the last teaching workshop I attended. A bit pricey but if you take teaching scholarship seriously, it may be well worth the investment.
