• Lab Manager joins the media that have reported on a five-year study of the 'flipped' classroom. Calvin Kalman, a professor in the Department of Physics and principal of Concordia's Science College, conducted the study, along with a team of researchers, in hopes of improving the learning experience of physics students. The flipped classroom puts students in a collaborative learning environment where they can engage in what is termed 'reflective writing' about what they learn from their textbooks, peers and teachers. 
• An article in Voir Vert featuring the new net-zero-energy library in south-shore Varennes notes the involvement of the Concordia-based Solar Buildings Research Network (SBRN) in the building's design.
• Project Muse publishes a review of Oral History at the Crossroads: Sharing Life Stories of Survival and Displacement (UBC Press, 2014), by Steven High, professor and Canada Research Chair in Public History at Concordia and co-director of the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (COHDS). The book springs from a collaborative project called 'Montreal Life Stories', documenting and curating the life stories of Montrealers displaced by war, genocide and other mass human rights violations.
