I wanted to share a collection of video case studies that were brought to my attetion by Cheryl L. Bielema, Ph.D., Retired, Instructional Development Specialist, University of Missouri-St. Louis. The case studies are available to view at no cost and were created from a FIPSE grant called the MERLOT ELIXR Initiative. The ELIXR offers a digital case story repository that hosts more than 70 discipline-specific multimedia stories. Digital stories for faculty development can provide real-life experiences of exemplary teaching strategies and the process of implementing them. These digital case stories can be used freely in faculty development programs and also accessed by individual instructors.
I have viewed many of the videos ranging from the First Day of Class to Assessment Rubrics and found them to be excellent. If you are an administrator you could show these videos in faculty meetings and have a discussion to save time and money on faculty development without compromising effectiveness.
Check it out, you will be glad you did: http://elixr.merlot.org/
