Abstract:

In 1992, the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE), U.S. Department of Education, made a three-year grant to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to disseminate what was learned in an earlier project on evaluating and rewarding teaching at a research-oriented university (Barrett, et.al. 1993). By invitation of the deans from the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (CASNR) and the College of Arts and Sciences to their counterparts across the country the following seventeen institutions responded that they would like to participate:

* University of Alaska-Fairbanks

* CalPoly State University

* University of Cincinnati

* University of Florida

* Kansas State University

* University of Minnesota-Thin Cities

* University of Missouri-Columbia

* North Carolina A&T

* North Carolina State University

* Oklahoma State University

* Oregon State University

* Penn State University

* University of Tennessee-Knoxville

* Texas Woman's University

* Wayne State College

* University of Wisconsin-Madison

* University of Wyoming

By participating in the joint project, participating colleges in the universities share the ideas learned from the three-year UNL FIPSE project and exchange ideas learned from their own campuses. The exchange of ideas is done as part of a yearly national conference on evaluating and rewarding teaching held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and through an Ag*SAT teleconference.
