Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Program is a faculty-driven initiative to improve undergraduate learning by fostering faculty inquiry into learning and by building interdisciplinary communities that support and refine this inquiry. This innovative form of faculty development inspires and improves undergraduate learning by engaging the scholarly talents and dedication of the faculty. This model is being heralded as one that is transferable to other institutions. For example:

Can interactive exercises increase student learning?
Do students really learn more in smaller classes?
Can group work aid individual learning?
Do examples enhance or confuse student learning?
Can technology help students do more than recall facts?
Do student misconceptions persist, and if so, why?
