For the last few days, I've been working on Chapter 6, Communicate High Expectations. Although it might be somewhat of a stretch, I'm including Advising in this chapter as well as some course design issues that relate to good links, accountability, policies, etc. I will save the learning styles and diversity for the last chapter. Although the work is done on most of the book, I have all these topics that were part of a chapter 8 that I now want to fold into the seven chapters in keeping with the seven identified practices of good undergraduate education by Chickering and Gamson.

My abstract was accepted by EduCause, or rather mine and Lana Lytle's abstract was accepted. Now, I just need to make sure that the cost will be covered. I have to accept by January 4th, so I need to get busy.
