ANNOUNCING: H-TLH: H-Net Network on Teaching and Learning History
http://www.h-net.org/~tlh/
Member of: H-Net: Humanities and Social Sciences Online
http://www.h-net.org

Following the very successful recent launches of H-Memory, H-Southern-Lit,
H-Human-Rights, and H-Citizenship H-Net proudly announces its newest
addition to its family of over 180 discussion networks -- H-TLH -- a new
network promoting interdisciplinary research and intellectual exchange about
teaching and learning history.

H-TLH promotes to offer an online interactive format for the issues
surrounding the teaching and learning of history in its broadest context:
Kindergarten through the graduate level. Operating within these assumptions
scholars of teaching and learning seek to produce knowledge that is, in the
words of Lee Shulman, is "public, susceptible to critical review and
evaluation, and accessible for exchange and use by other members of one's
scholarly community." It is hoped that this knowledge will allow instructors
to build on the work of others to create new and more effective strategies
for increasing student learning through an examination and discussion of
more effective history teaching. Academics working in this new field often
make a distinction between the scholarship of teaching and learning, which
is research that fits the requirements of Shulman's definition, and
scholarly teaching, which represents the efforts of instructors to apply
insights borrowed from the scholarship of teaching and learning in their own
classrooms.

Suggestions for additions are welcome--please email the editors.

The goals of H-Net lists are to enable scholars to easily communicate
current research and teaching interests; to discuss new approaches, methods
and tools of analysis; to share information on online resources; and to test
new ideas and share comments on the literature in their fields, and publish
quality reviews in many fields and support academe through publication of
the Job Guide. All network messages are permanently archived and searchable.

Like all H-Net lists, H-TLH is moderated to edit out material that, in the
editors' opinion, is not germane to the list, involves technical matters
(such as subscription management requests), is inflammatory, or violates the
evolving, yet common, standards of Internet etiquette. H-Net's procedure for
resolving disputes over list editorial practices is Article II, Section 2.20
of our bylaws, located at:
