Getting Started with the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

At its most basic level, the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) can be thought of as the systematic study of teaching and learning; it involves asking a question, gathering evidence, drawing conclusions based on that evidence, and making those findings public for the benefit of others. In this session, we will discuss what SoTL means, look at examples of SoTL research, consider ethical issues in SoTL research, and talk about how to get started in SoTL.
