You can access the recordings of the following sessions hosted during the conference in Long Beach, California, February 8-10, 2013. REMOTE SESSIONS
Join the conference for the Opening, 10th Anniversary Roundable, and Keynote sessions. View: Opening Session Integrating Technology in the Classroom The use of technology has increasingly permeated the political science classroom. This track will address the challenges and opportunities of incorporating all forms of technology into the political science curriculum and the classroom. These include, but are not limited to, online teaching, clickers, podcasts, blogs, wikis, video casting, and narrated Power Points in all aspects of the political science curriculum. View: Using In-Class Wireless Technology Community College faculty often face unique challenges including keeping frequently taught introductory courses interesting, incorporating lessons on college reading and writing into the political science curriculum, and working with students who often have limited time to devote to academics. These workshops will focus on innovative pedagogical strategies to address these and other challenges in the political science classroom. Although these workshops are intended to focus on issues facing community college faculty, the approaches and techniques can be applied to teaching introductory courses and/or facing the challenge of teaching underprepared students in the college environment. View: Political Science Curriculum as General Education The Program Assessment track seeks to enhance our understanding of program assessment and its connection to the curricular design and outcomes objectives of political science programs. Papers should address the following types of questions: What are the challenges to departments creating effective assessment systems? Which methods and practices of outcomes assessment have proven most successful? How can departments and individual faculty members effectively integrate program-level assessment into departmental courses? And ultimately, how can political scientists enhance the use of assessment to refine goals, improve programs, and demonstrate program successes to both internal and external audiences?
