H-Teachpol is an online discussion list dedicated to the discussion of issues regarding
political science teaching in post-secondary settings. It is a forum to discuss the role
of political science teaching within the larger framework of liberal learning, to examine
current trends in higher education (e.g., distance learning, service learning, integration
of new technologies, assessment, outcome-based evaluation, and declining enrollment in
political science courses), to share information about the latest teaching innovations,
especially those related to technology and experiential education, and to promote
exemplary teaching within the political science discipline.
H-Teachpol is edited by Joe Cammarano (Providence College) and William J. Ball (The
College of New Jersey). The list is part of H-net (the humanities and social
sciences network) and it is co-sponsored by the American Political Science Association
Organized Sections on Computers and Multimedia and Undergraduate Education.
Some of the material on Teaching Politics (such as the book reviews and the Guide to
Teaching) originates on the H-Teachpol discussion list. The Teaching Politics web
site and the H-Teachpol discussion list are designed to compliment each other. Users of
Teaching Politics are strongly encouraged to subscribe to H-Teachpol.
