Open pedagogy is teaching and learning practices and environments that promote equity, collaboration, and innovation and invite students to create and share knowledge with future publics, often in association with the use of open educational resources (OER). Pedagogy Opened: Innovative Theory and Practice seeks to advance the study of open and innovative pedagogy through the belief that their impact and reach are increased by research on and analysis of the theory and practice of open pedagogy across the disciplines and via multiple modalities. In this first volume of Pedagogy Opened, seven author teams explore and share their work with open pedagogy in a variety of ways, including through research, practice, and autoethnographic reflection.

It's no secret that the new faculty experience in higher education is rather fraught with difficulties. Mounting pressures for professional publication, navigating the tricky waters of fluctuating publisher resources, ballooning service requirements, and limited departmental resources can all leave a new faculty member struggling with imposter syndrome at best, and floundering in silence while attempting to develop effective classroom strategies at worst. Discover a range of flexible, immediately actionable projects, assignments, and curriculum structures in Swamped: Interdisciplinary Teaching Approaches for New Faculty. These battle-tested strategies have been carefully organized to provide new instructors with the space to adapt, modify, or reuse this material to fit any academic context or need. Developed by experienced faculty from Indiana University East, the goal is to share and disseminate these tools and experiences as widely as possible so that others might use them, make them better, and share them further. The authors and editor intend for these projects, assignments, and processes to create freedom and academic space for new faculty members to work on their vital research, focus on innovative service opportunities, and help mitigate teaching fears and uncertainties that often accompany the transition from graduate student to professor.

Thoroughly researched and eloquently told by author and Spirit family descendant James Barnes, this resonant, non-fiction history showcases the amazing resiliency of a people who refuse to let suffering keep them from maintaining joy, love, and cultural identity. Follow the Spirit family from 1826-1910, through one of the darkest periods of cultural persecution in our nation's history, as they fight, grieve, and advocate for the Cherokee Nation's sovereignty in the face of steep opposition from the United States government. A multi-generational account of perseverance and hope, Barnes skillfully weaves his family's and Nation's history together to bring both alive. Providing both a broad historical canvas for understanding Cherokee history and an intimate view of family lives during the critical periods of removal, the Civil War, and Allotment, this book will resonate deeply with audiences of all backgrounds.

The textbook, Principles of Leadership, was commissioned by the University System of Georgia (USG) eMajor program. This program partners various institutions within the USG system to provide an affordable, quality post-secondary degree and credential plan of study to meet the workplace needs of Georgia. The textbook will be part of the required material for an eMajor course, Profiles of Leaders. The intent and structure of the book presents leadership principles by using various authors who would offer students a wider variety of academic research and professional experiences. This broader view, then, would enhance the student experience, providing leadership principles that could be used by undergraduate students in not only their course of study but also their current and future career paths. Three faculty members from participating institutions were asked to co-author this text, bringing together various views and experiences to the basic study of leadership. The contributing authors are Drs. Heather Mbaye, University of West Georgia; Stephen Northam, University of North Georgia; and Matthew Hipps, MPA, from Dalton State College. Therefore, the textbook presents both academic research literature and professionally distinct understandings of leadership in practice. Given the joint nature of the textbook, each chapter is a contribution by one of the co-authors. This approach offers a variety of understandings regarding leadership principles along with the thematic thread of what it means to be a leader in an organization. The textbook's structure comprises two parts. Chapters one through four review the theoretical literature and research on leadership. They address topics ranging from what it means to lead from both a historical and current perspective, to differing types of leadership styles and organizations. In addition, these chapters address the on-going and highly debated topic of whether leadership is an innate gift or a learned skill. Last, these chapters end by addressing how leadership needs to be integrated within the organization using the creative process of organization mission and vision building. The last four chapters present the journey of defining necessary leadership behaviors and how these behaviors must be demonstrated to an organization. The behaviors addressed begin with how to be an inclusive leader who demonstrates constructive actions while helping to create a diverse organization. Next, the textbook considers the difficult leadership task of demonstrating a fair, impartial, and ethical approach to organization conflict resolution as demonstrated in leading an organization in overcoming difficult obstacles. Last, the closing chapter uses several case studies to draw together theoretical and practical techniques in order to demonstrate some of the basic principles of leadership.

Potential questions that may stimulate ideas and contribute to the discussion are:What is the current relationship between higher education and the military in the United States? What is the future of that relationship? What are the contemporary issues in U.S. higher education that impact national security?What U.S. higher education-related national policies or programs exist to enhance national security? What U.S. national security higher educational needs are not being addressed, or being inadequately addressed in the academe?What¿do other countries do to enhance the relationship between their higher education systems and their own national security interests?

The benefits of music in our lives are increasingly acknowledged by researchers and scientist. As human beings, we have taken the existence of music for granted and rarely think critically about music and its purpose. Perhaps for this reason, such critical thinking about music is sometimes perceived as difficult. Understanding Music: Past and Present creates a roadmap from some of the earliest known origins of music to modern day. This linear approach allows the reader to trace the history and evolution of music through the ages. Understanding Music: Past and Present is designed to grow the reader's appreciation of music through improved understanding and listening skills, allowing the reader to develop his or her own informed opinions and express them.Sponsored by eCore: eCore is a collaborative program that supports online core courses for students from twenty-five University System of Georgia colleges and universities.
