The Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion publishes a peer reviewed journal, Teaching Theology and Religion, that seeks to foster "an international discourse among faculty members about teaching and learning in the various sub-disciplines in the study of religion in higher education." While the journal requires a subscription, Teaching Tactics, feature special topics freely available to anyone. These tactics are authored by religion and theology instructors around the world and can be browsed by categories including Critical Reading Skills, Online Assignments, Teaching Writing, and Using Technology. Each tactic is just a page long, and includes four components: a summary of the author's teaching context (e.g. institution type, class name, class size); the pedagogical purpose of the strategy; a succinct summary of the the teaching tactic, and an explanation of why, in the author's view, it is a successful strategy. Whiled aimed specifically at instructors of religion, some of these tactics can be adapted for other college- level teaching settings.
