---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm looking for graduate students, teaching assistants, active and retired faculty and
adjuncts (all levels) to join me in creating a new online Academic Research Directory
covering all disciplines. The most important qualification is a love of teaching!
I am a professor at Hillsborough Community College in Tampa, Florida who is working with
CommonPlaces/YouthStream, a university-focused online community based in Cambridge, MA.
Our web-based group fosters vibrant online exchange by discipline and offers both
institutions and students a complimentary set of Internet tools for academic research,
teaching, and for personal productivity. Important features include the academic
research directory, online calendar, financial aid and scholarship information, free
email for life, and other scholarly services of particular interest to faculty and
students.
Since there is never a charge for participation, usage is expected to grow rapidly
over the coming months.
We're looking for people with a passion for their discipline, and the urge to share
their enthusiasm and expertise with both colleagues and students. Our key qualification
is a love of teaching and a desire to make a significant impact on student education
and retention.
I am particularly interested in reaching women and members of other traditionally
under-represented groups.
What a wonderful way of creating an international electronic scholarly community!
Writing a brief online article about a professional specialty... participating in
online forums... and hosting a monthly online chat... is all that is required.
Please identify the specific topic you would like to address in your essay.
I look forward to discussing our plans with you!
