Hello. After thirty-four years of teaching Intro to Psychology in the traditional lecture/discussion group/Blackboard/textbook format, I’d like to learn what other avenues of instruction are available. Such avenues may be more amenable to today’s students. I’d like to break free of reliance on textbooks, which I find massively expensive, wasteful (in the sense we can never cover the entire book in a fourteen-week course), and excessively cluttered and dense. Intro to Psychology textbooks are now running six hundred pages in length, not counting unnumbered appendices. I think we will soon see a thousand-page intro textbook, which is absurd.
