Never before has teaching evolved so rapidly. The Internet, a new breed of students, issues of accountability, and a renewed focus on learning have all contributed to the raising of expectations for the quality of education provided by institutions of higher learning. In order to meet the challenges, it is imperative that institutions focus on professional development of pedagogical practices for the professoriate. The scope of these challenges demands collaborative approaches as keys to success for colleges and universities.
