Purpose

Faculty interested in the scholarship of teaching and learning meet once a month to discuss topics related to SoTL. The group will discuss the characteristics of SoTL and the various methodologies that might be used when developing a teaching-related research project. The group provides mutual support for participant’s SoTL projects, including advice about the collection, analysis and interpretation of data, and preparation of submissions to conferences and journals.
