Throughout the academic year, the CFI sends out emails to share ideas, resources, programs, practices, and distilled research related to teaching and learning. Subscribers also have the opportunity to discuss the topics via the listserv.
Please contact Emily Gravett at graveteo@jmu.edu if you have any suggestions for future Toolbox topics, if you would like to consider authoring a Toolbox yourself, or if you have any direct feedback about specific Toolboxes. If you have anonymous feedback that you would like to offer, please use this Google form.
Subscribe
If you are interested in joining the Toolbox listserv, simply send an email to listserv@listserv.jmu.edu with SUBSCRIBE TEACHING-TOOLBOX in the body of the email and nothing in the subject line. Please be sure to delete your automatic signature before sending the email.
While the Toolbox emails are disseminated only every two weeks, subscribers of the listserv may choose to interact more regularly. If you would like to receive these additional communications less frequently, you can adjust your settings (once you have subscribed) on listserv.jmu.edu. (You may need to set up a password first, if you haven't done so already.) Simply go to Subscriber's Corner, and click on [Settings] after TEACHING-TOOLBOX. There you can specify your "Subscription Type" (such as "Digest").
