At the CRLA annual conference in October 2003, at Albuquerque, NM, colleagues interested<br />
in joining the newly-formed <strong>Learning</strong> & <strong>Study</strong> <strong>Strategies</strong> SIG gathered for the first time. At this<br />
meeting members completed a survey about potential topics and activities that they wanted to<br />
focus on within this new SIG. Respondents overwhelming indicated that their top priority was<br />
the sharing of effective programs and practices. Thus, the handbook, <strong>Learning</strong> <strong>Strategies</strong>, <strong>Study</strong><br />
<strong>Skills</strong>, & <strong>Paired</strong> <strong>Courses</strong>: Practices for the <strong>College</strong> Classroom, was born as a means for sharing<br />
useful instructional practices related to college learning and study strategies.<br />
Contributions were solicited from among all CRLA members. Twenty-seven (27) people<br />
responded with their contributions of especially successful, unique, and/or rewarding<br />
instructional practices.<br />
I expect that you will enjoy reading and trying out colleagues’ suggestions as much as I have!<br />
