Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

What is SoTL?

Have you wondered why an activity did (or did not) work in the way you intended? The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is the systematic study by instructors of the impact of their teaching on the learning of students and the sharing of results. An exciting aspect of SoTL is that it is practical and applied, having direct implications for the classes we teach.
