The POD organization has decided to make all of its Essays on Teaching Excellence available
online, free of charge, including Volume 21, the newest collection. Feel free to share this news
and the link below with any colleagues who you feel might benefit from access. Please note that
these essays are available to all; POD membership is not required. It is hoped that this new
resource will help support and promote the work of POD members as well as the organization
itself. Please see the eight titles and authors of Volume 21 below. Look for Volume 22 in late
spring.
