With compelling evidence of the impact of ePortfolio \"done well,\" and a practical framework for educators to follow, this research study quickly led to the formal recognition of ePortfolio as a validated High Impact Practice.Now, with Catalyst in Action: Case Studies of High-Impact ePortfolio Practice, Eynon and Gambino have taken the next step. The book offers 20 powerful case studies, drawn from campuses ranging from Bronx Community College to Yale University, from the University of South Carolina, to Dublin University and Arizona State.

Impact/Impasse
Impact/Impasse argues for the value of everyday life in
college classrooms. Quantifiable categories such as high-impact
practice, student engagement, and integrative learning have
captured the imagination of a generation of higher education
researchers, practitioners, administrators, and policymakers. But
they miss those mundane moments, or \"impasses,\" that resist capture
by metrics while nevertheless shaping student outcomes.
Impact/Impasse blends critical theories and ethnographic
research-conducted before and during the COVID-19 pandemic-to argue
that learning happens in ordinary moments. Indeed, in sharing
anecdotes from both in-person and virtual classrooms, the coauthors
show how the so-called new normal is little different from the old
in its neoliberal attachment to data. Impact/Impasse
provides a conceptual and practical foundation for an alternative
approach to valuing impacts on their own terms, in excess of
quantification.

Cross-Cultural Teaching and Learning for Home and International Students
Cross cultural teaching and learning for home and international students maps and discusses the increasing internationalisation of teaching and learning at universities around the world. This new phenomenon brings both opportunities and challenges, as it introduces what can be radically different teaching, learning and assessment contexts for both students and staff. This book moves beyond the rhetoric of internationalisation to examine some of the more complex issues for practitioners, researchers, students and those working in transnational or non-Anglophone contexts. It recognises that although universities around the world enthusiastically espouse internationalisation as part of their mission, there is currently little information available about carrying out this vision in terms of pedagogy and curriculum at a practical level. This book fills that gap comprehensively, organising its information around four main themes:
New ways of teaching, learning and assessing: Challenges and opportunities for teaching practice, student engagement and participation, assessment and supervision of learning.
New ways of designing and delivering curriculum: Internationalising the curriculum for all students within 'home' and 'abroad' contexts.
New ways of thinking and acting: Developing the global citizen, intercultural learning and respectful dialogue, responding to student diversity and equity, enhancing graduate employability and future life trajectories.
New ways of listening: Discovering and responding to new or unfamiliar voices among students and staff, embracing 'other' academic and intellectual traditions.
Illustrated by a wide range of examples from around the world, this book brings together contemporary work and thinking in the areas of cross cultural teaching and

Communities and Organizations
How does organizations' embeddedness in broader social and cultural communities influence their behavior? And how has this changed with recent communication technology advances and globalization trends? In this volume, we consider how diverse types of communities influence organizations, as well as the associated benefit of developing a richer accounting for community processes in organizational theory. One goal of the volume is to move beyond the focus on social proximity and networks that has characterized existing work on communities. The papers in this volume consider specific topics that expand the definition of community beyond geography to include how transnational communities form and affect organizations' perception, the development of a community-form (C-form) organization as an important organizational architecture for understanding twenty-first century business, and how virtual communities influence key organizational processes. While there has been a recent revival of research into the effects of both geographic and non-geographic communities on organizational behaviors, this volume is the first effort to bring both perspectives together in order to aid in the identification of common and disparate mechanisms across multiple types of communities and how community as an organizing logic sits vis-a-vis other logics related to the market, corporation, family and religion.
