Exploring the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning



This practical course introduces attendees to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). SoTL is
a movement in higher education to study teaching and learning in order to improve both. Typically,
SoTL scholars study their own teaching and their own students' learning. Research findings are then
shared publicly with the teaching and learning community. Understanding the higher education teaching
and learning community is beneficial for librarians as they continue to assume more teaching responsibilities.
In addition to learning from SoTL, librarians have much to contribute to the conversation. Their expertise
in information literacy, reference, and community engagement make librarians natural contributors to SoTL.



In this course, participants will:
* Explore the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in order to understand the field.
* Identify how librarians can use and participate in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
* Brainstorm potential research topics in the field of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.
