From Scholarly Teaching to SoTL: Opportunities for Presenting and Publishing

In this session we will review the process for developing a classroom research project into a submission to a scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) conference or journal. The session will be interactive and provide opportunities for individual and group work (via breakout rooms, etc.). Those who are new to classroom research as well as more experienced SoTL practitioners are welcome to participate in this learning experience. A “care package” of resources for developing SoTL projects will be included.

 After attending this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Define scholarly teaching and SoTL
• Describe the steps in the SoTL process
• Identify an area of interest for developing a SoTL submission
• Describe criteria for publishable projects
• Access resources for support
