Turn your daily grind into a publication
The Scholarship of Teaching of Learning (SoTL) is the systematic inquiry of student learning using appropriate methodology – informed by prior scholarship – and going public with the results. Please RSVP below for the first in a series of workshops on SoTL.
- Practice: Approaching work with students as a systematic study of learning.
- Integration: Integrating diverse perspectives and modalities into the work of teaching and learning.
- Higher Education: Study of organizational development and how it impacts student learning.
- Synthesis: Collecting knowledge and evidence to develop materials to disseminate for broader use in the field.
We invite you to a workshop on January 12th, 8:30-noon where we will help you refine the work you do at Stetson into a systematic inquiry that can be published. Please RSVP at this link.
