About Campus began as a publication intended to pull pockets of educators with innovative practices together. Starting the conversation about student learning was step one– continuing it was step two. Twenty years later, our editorial team understands the value of conversation in the a digital context. We are thinking about the role digital media plays in higher education today and aspire to use these resources to continue the conversation in a unique way that About Campus readers have never seen this publication do. Here we offer resources for your practice as an educator. Explore them for more information and add to the conversation!
