Guidelines for Submitting a Teach-It Module

Teach-IT modules represent a new genre of scholarly
publishing.  Submissions are refereed and accepted modules are
published in a Teach-IT monograph as traditional print articles
as well as electronically via the Teacher Education Internet
Server.  Chapter Two of the Teach-IT Monograph deals with the
concept of the Teach-IT series in more detail.  Near the end of
that chapter there is a starter list of topics for which no
instructional modules exist at present.  If you are interested
in developing a Teach-IT module on a topic, whether it is on
that list or not, we suggest you look at the instructional
materials in this monograph.  Then carefully study the
directions for creating a module.  Once you have an idea of how
this genre of scholarly writing is constructed, develop your
first draft of the module.  Try it out in a class for at least
one semester.  Then revise the module and send a hard copy as
well as a disk copy to:


How Do I Contribute to the Series?

If you are interested in submitting a module for publication,
feel free to send a note to Jerry Willis, the developer of the
Teach-IT series.  Indicate the topic and format of the proposed
module.  The note should, if possible, be an e-mail message.
Jerry's e-mail address is:

	On Internet:		jwillis@jetson.uh.edu
	On Bitnet:		jwillis@jetson

If someone else is already working on the same topic, the focus
or approach can usually be adjusted so that your contribution
is not competing with another for inclusion.  As you plan your
module look carefully at the modules online and the
descriptiuons in the Teach-IT monograph. Although the format
and strategies used in the different modules vary considerably,
they do illustrate several successful approaches to developing
instructional material that can be used in more than one
setting. Feel free to develop your modules using PageMaker, but
if you are not proficient with that desktop publishing package
you can create your module in a standard word processor such as
Word and we can handle the next step.  When you have your draft
of a module ready to submit, send a paper and disk copy
(indicate the type of file on the disk) to:

	Jerry Willis, Director
	Center for Information
	  Technology in Education
	College of Education
	University of Houston
	Houston, TX 77204
	Phone:  (713) 743-4972
	Fax: (713) 743-9870
