SoTL 101: Introduction to SoTL and Teaching + Learning Inquiry

What is the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)? What do we mean by an inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning? How is SoTL different from other research or from scholarly teaching? How is SoTL evolving?

This seminar will:

  • Introduce you to key trends in higher education within SoTL;
  • Provide suggestions for engaging in research into teaching and learning regardless of your prior familiarity;
  • Introduce you to our team, our new approach to support SoTL at SFU; and
  • Ways to engage in the development of scholarly communities of practice.

Who should attend?

  • Instructors who have worked with us before – learn about our new approach and resources available to you**
  • Instructors who want to learn more about inquiry-based research / Scholarship of Teaching and Learnin
  • Graduate or undergraduate students interested in working as research personnel on teaching and learning research projects 

**Note: You will only ever have to attend SoTL 101 once. We ask that all former and new partners and collaborators attend, even if you have already conducted an ISTLD-funded project.
