SoTL 101: Getting Started

Event Description 

How do I get started in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning? What approaches make the most sense for research about my teaching? Where can I find resources? How can I design a project that will help me? Come to this workshop for the answers to these and other questions! Learn how conducting a SoTL project can help you save time in teaching, ask questions, and hear from your peers about their ideas – possibly towards collaboration on a project. Use this workshop to hone your ideas into a fundable SoTL proposal.
