“Unlike written compositions, the internal logic of a Web piece is likely to appear first in the visual construction of the page—not only in the images chosen but the colors, the placement of text or links, the font, the use of white space, and other elements linked more closely to the world of graphic design than to composition pedagogy.”

Pedagogy and the Profession
English 714Ed Nagelhout 8 September 2010
“Pedagogical inquiry involves a shift away from concepts to be acquired and theories to be mastered and toward ongoing, locally specific dialogue between teaching and research, action and reflection. It requires, at the same time, an examination of the systemic conditions that continue to position research above teaching, mastery above inquiry.”

Pedagogy and the Profession
English 714Ed Nagelhout 8 September 2010
“Valuing pedagogy, making pedagogy central to professing, requires more than scholarly efforts and more improved training practices. It requires a rethinking of entrenched notions of the discipline that determine the relationship of teaching to scholarship and that reinforce a limited conception of who the professor is and should be.”
