Chapters revisit the topics from the best-selling NDTL issues, offering the latest developments in group-based learning, effective communication, teaching for critical thinking, the seven principles for good practice in undergraduate education, teaching for diversity, and teaching in the information age.

This is the 80th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Teaching and Learning .
