G. Andrew Page, PhD
A review of “Conquering the Content” International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
“Had Robin Smith’s book been available a decade ago, I could have avoided countless hours spent since then in updating, revising, and re-envisioning the web pages supporting my courses. Even with years of experience creating web sites for my courses, I found ideas and insights that will help me continue to improve the ongoing processes of course development and maintenance.” Donna Vinton (Link to full review)
