What do we mean by "product"?
An instructional tool or product is "any identifiable component of instruction used to accomplish a set of specifiable student performance outcomes." It is a "means for accomplishing student achievement" (Kameenui & Carnine, 1998, p.7).
Common types of products might include:
• teacher generated materials (e.g., a comprehensive syllabus, a class manual, a multisensory presentation, a concept map, etc.)
• strategies for considering inclusive instruction (e.g., an audiotape of an instructor discussing the thought process required in selecting a text book, revision of assessment strategies, student motivation, etc.)
• a description of planning for class interactions and learning opportunities (e.g., collaborative grouping of students, seating arrangements that consider diversity, etc.)
• use of technology (e.g., alternative projects on-line, access to learning supports, on-line tutorials, communication structures, etc.)
We encourage submission of traditional instructional products (syllabi, manuals, etc.) as well as less tangible instructional tools such as mechanisms for encouraging student-faculty interaction, or means of enhancing the instructional environment for possible publication on Facultyware.
