Teaching Profiles: Examples of available technologies put to use in innovative ways by Wesleyan faculty.

Steve Angle's Classical Chinese Philosophy
http://sangle.web.wesleyan.edu/wescourses/2000f/phil205/01/
everything is in one place online texts, discussion board, maps, even a set of links on the debate over the interpretation of "dao". A sample of a model paper, closely annotated by the instructor is an excellent aid for students who wish to improve their writing.

Harris Friedberg's Shakespeare Website
http://hfriedberg.web.wesleyan.edu/wescourses/2005f/engl205/01
Harris's essays on Elizabethan history, politics, religion and social practice create important context for the plays. Each essay is accompanied by a number of well chosen pictures which further illustrate the Elizabethan worldview. (tragedies and romance links are not active).

Project CuRL
http://www.wesleyan.edu/curl/
A collaborative link database to collect discipline-specific links and make them accessible via Library of Congress subject headings and keyword searching.

Social Psychology Network
http://www.socialpsychology.org
Scott Plous' portal for Social Psychology.

Interactive Data Mapper
http://woodstock.wesleyan.edu/acsocsci/jmcguire/
A nifty application for dicing and slicing international data and making maps out of subsets of the data.

Antonio Gonzalez's span223
http://agonzalez.web.wesleyan.edu/span223/span223.htm
Students can read lecture notes, review maps, search an image database (museo), listen to recordings of poems (by antonio and the poets) while reading the poem on screen, use dictionaries and other reference guides.

Suzanne O'Connell's Earth & Environmental Science course, "Earth's Changing Climate"
(http://soconnell.web.wesleyan.edu/ees123/index.html),
Provides students with ready access to course documents (e.g., syllabus, schedule), as well as information about group projects, online resources and tips for doing research, and the field trips. There's even a photo gallery of the course field trips.

Kristina Beuning's Earth & Environmental Sciences course Web site, "Aquatic Ecology" (http//kbeuning.web.wesleyan.edu/ees261/), presents general information about the course and schedule, and important announcements. Lecture notes are available in the site, as are exam answers and sample term papers from a previous semester's students. Photos on the homepage show students carrying out data collection tasks on a field trip.

Bill Herbst's Astronomy course Web site , "A Universe of Planets"
(http//www.astro.wesleyan.edu/~bill/courses/astr103/), was put together with the help of WebTech Andrew Rhodes. This site is graphics intensive, and the online lecture notes are peppered with QuickTime movies illustrating concepts such as planetary motion.

John Salzer's Astronomy course Web site, "Descriptive Astronomy" (http//www.astro.wesleyan.edu/~ast105/wes_only/ast105/), was designed by WebTech LiWei Lin, and like the other Astronomy site, is very graphics intensive. Li Wei designed a great template for Salzer's lecture materials -- since Salzer uses a UNIX machine as his primary computer, Microsoft's PowerPoint wasn't an option.
