Woods, Robert, and Samuel Ebersole. “Becoming a ‘Communal Architect’ in the Online Classroom-Integrating Cognitive and Affective Learning for Maximum Effect in Web-Based Learning.” Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration 6, no. 1 (2003). http://www.westga.edu/~distance/ojdla/spring61/woods61.htm.

Abstract: Successful online instructors realize that building a sense of “community” in the online classroom is necessary for successful learning outcomes (Gunawardena, 1994; Wiesenberg & Hutton, 1996; Campbell, 1997; Gunawardena & Zittle, 1997; McLellan, 1999; Kazmer, 2000; Wegerif, 1998). The development of community “becomes a parallel stream to the content being explored” in online courses: [It is not] “something that ‘mucks up’ or interferes with the learning process (Palloff & Pratt, 1999, p. 30).

Buratovich, Michael and Thomas Buratovich. “Battle for the Beginning: Creation, Evolution and the Bible.” Christian Scholar’s Review 32, no. 4 (Summer, 2003): 455.

Abstract: Well-known pastor and radio preacher John MacArthur wrote The Battle for the Beginning to “examine what the biblical text teaches about creation” (29), but not to “get into in-depth scientific arguments related to the origin of our universe” (29). The Battle for the Beginning shows the problems that potentially surface when a gifted expositor writes an authoritative text outside his area of expertise.

Baldwin, Bruce W. “Manual Microscale Column Chromatography Pressurization Apparatus.” Journal Of Chemical Education 80, no. 10 (October 2003): 1182. doi:

Abstract: Pressurization of a Pasteur pipet for microscale chromatography is simplified by connecting a 20- or 30-mL syringe to the pipet using a length of Tygon tubing. This simple system allows the student to easily dry-pack a column using common chromatography packing materials. Results were uniformly good for introductory, organic, or upper-division research chemistry students.
