SoTL Series
Register for the SoTL Scholars Program
The CLT鈥檚 SoTL Series is an annual series of workshops on the topic of SoTL. Each workshop is between 1鈥�3 hours long, and is offered annually throughout the fall, winter, and spring terms in a combination of face-to-face, blended and online (asynchronous and synchronous) delivery. The goal of the CLT鈥檚 SoTL Series is to provide regular and flexible SoTL programming offered by CLT staff and members of the 麻豆传媒 community and beyond.
The workshops are open to any anyone (instructor, faculty, and/or student) at 麻豆传媒.
*Participants of the SoTL Scholars Program are required to attend the workshops The Principles of SoTL, The SoTL Process, and Engaging in Ethical SoTL, plus at least three other workshops of their choice to meet the requirements of the Program.
The Principles of SoTL
The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on systematic and scholarly inquiry into our teaching practice and the student experience. The goal of SoTL is to identify, explore, and share advances in teaching and learning in order to enhance student learning.
This introductory workshop will cover the frameworks that guide SoTL as a scholarly practice and the guiding foundations to SoTL.
The SoTL Process
Once you have your听SoTL听question, the next steps in the听SoTL听process are thinking about what evidence will best help you in answering that question, and then how you can design a study to gather and analyze that evidence.听
In this introductory and interactive workshop we will:
- Work through the different stages in the听SoTL听Lifecycle,
- Engage in hands-on work designing your听SoTL听project, and
- Plan the next steps for your听SoTL听question.
Participants are encouraged to come to this session with a听SoTL听question in mind, as much of the time will be spend on working towards planning a听SoTL听study.
Engaging in Ethical SoTL
Many find applying for Research Ethics approval daunting when it comes to their SoTL practice, as conducting research in our classroom comes with a range of new and unique ethical considerations. However, applying an ethical lens to SoTL not only protects the learner, but also works to enhance the quality of your SoTL project.
This workshop will cover:
- What to expect during the Research Ethics Board (REB) process,
- Important ethical considerations during the SoTL Lifecycle, and
- Tips to help you with conducting ethical SoTL.
