Hi Joseph, Good ideas on how to stay current. In your reading of trade journals and attending seminars do you get exposure to instructional improvement? I have found that most of information being put out by professional trade associations, etc. are content based. The real challenge is how to translate the new content into a teachable format that will inform and interest the students. It seems like an instructor just gets the problems and case studies developed for a course sequence when new content comes along and requires that a new format be developed. This is one of the exciting parts of education, that being the need for constant development and revision to insure that you are always current in your course. Gary
