The 2008-2009 Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Seminar <--click here for more information
The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL) movement attempts to raise teaching to its well-deserved position of prominence in the academy by encouraging faculty members to empirically investigate student learning in their classes. Ultimately, the goal is to end the “pedagogical solitude” in which we spend our teaching careers and to create a true scholarship of teaching and learning that allows for accumulating knowledge and building on it in teaching.
