ICE Tips: Improving Academic Teaching - ICE factors 1 to 8

 In developing the Student Evaluation of Educational Quality (SEEQ) instrument, Dr. Herbert Marsh also wrote a series of instructional development booklets related to each of the key factors of the SEEQ – the same key factors which comprise Saint Mary’s ICE form.

In more recent years, the teaching strategies booklets were reviewed and revised for the Canadian context by Dr. Beverley Cameron, University of Manitoba.  They are reproduced here with the permission of Dr. Marsh and Dr. Cameron.
