Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) studies teaching practices and learning experiences to improve student learning in the physical classroom, online environment, or discipline. SoTL involves reflecting on your own teaching practices, exploring scholarly literature, engaging in research about these practices, and then disseminating findings to others. SoTL research can be conducted within and between disciplines.

The Teaching and Learning Centre supports the development and sharing of the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) by creating opportunities to use SoTL studies in your course design, conduct your own SoTL research, offering support for publishing and presentation and linking University scholars with related associations and groups.
