Journal of College
Excellence is a peer-reviewed venue published at Miami
University by and for faculty at universities and two- and
four-year colleges to increase student learning through effective
teaching, interest in and enthusiasm for the profession of
teaching, and communication among faculty about their classroom
experiences. It answers Ernest Boyer's (1990) call for a forum to
present the scholarship of teaching and learning. The Journal
provides a scholarly, written forum for discussion by faculty
about all areas affecting teaching and learning, and gives
faculty the opportunity to share proven, innovative pedagogies
and thoughtful, inspirational insights about teaching.
