The Page Center has issued a special call for teaching modules as a part of the 2011/2012 request for proposals.  The deadline for submission is December 1, 2012.  Notification of award winners is January 16, 2012.  Award-winning modules will appear in this section of the website and will be available to educators as downloadable PDF files.

WHY TEACHING MODULES?

The use of these teaching modules in the college classroom encourages active learning by students as they link to both historical and current information through instant access to online resources.  These modules are designed for undergraduate students, but with value for professionals.  Modules have been designed to encourage the use of multiple sources, including first-person opinion such as the online interviews in the Page Center’s Oral History Collection, or from the many other sources available on the Internet.  Each module includes a set of instructions for guiding students toward clearly articulated learning objectives that are well defined and realistic with materials and/or links to materials included.
