He is coauthor, with Robert B. Barr, of “From Teaching to Learning: A New Paradigm for Undergraduate Education” (Change, 1995), which quickly became the most cited piece in Change's history due to the article's lucid evaluation of teaching and learning in higher education and its paradigmatic yet specific recommendations for helping the academy become more successful in creating student learning.
