The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is a form of research that involves a systematic investigation of teaching practices and student learning followed by peer review and public sharing of the work for others to build upon. This webinar begins with an overview of the key aspects of SoTL, situating it within a spectrum of scholarly work on teaching and learning. Two in-depth case studies, one involving service learning and the other involving sustainability, illustrate how SoTL can contribute to the process of developing, assessing, and disseminating curriculum. One particular SoTL component highlighted in this webinar is the role literature searches play in both shaping and refining questions as well as providing the background context required for publication. Resources for undertaking a SoTL investigation are made available to all participants.
The webinar will be held Thursday, May 5 from 12-1 pm (Eastern).
It will be hosted by:
- Dr. Jackie Dewar (Professor Emerita of Mathematics, Loyola Marymount University)
- Dr. Matthew Siniawski (Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Loyola Marymount University)
- Dr. Rikki Wagstrom (Associate Professor of Mathematics, Metropolitan State University)
