WGBH Boston and the League for Innovation in the Community College created developed and recently released Getting Results: 6 modules that provide faculty members excellent strategies for deepening teaching and learning. The modules focus on the teaching of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, specifically in Advanced Technology Education classrooms. Modules are: Creating A Community of Learners, Planning for Outcomes, Active Teaching and Learning, Moving Beyond the Classroom, Teaching with Technology, and Assessing Teaching and Learning. The videos accompanying the modules include real teachers and students in real classroom settings across the country, representing a range of fields, institutions, programs, and subject areas.

Through a PT3 Grant awarded to the Ohio Board of Regents (catalyst OHIO), a number of Ohio faculty from a variety of institutions created the Teaching Online module. It's a very helpful resource, especially for self-paced learning.
