Evidence of Impact through the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

The presenters will address an institutional approach to strengthening evidence of impact research through supporting and encouraging faculty to participate in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). By formally supporting individually initiated faculty research in online and blended learning the institution has used faculty engagement in SoTL to foster research that is authentic, contextual, and reflective, addressing both learning outcomes and quality in a manner that resonates with students, faculty members, and administrators. We will discuss how to effectively support faculty SoTL research, as well as provide some exciting SoTL research examples.

OUTCOMES: Understand the benefits of SoTL research * Learn how to effectively support an institution-wide SoTL initiative * Learn how to form cooperative SoTL research agreements
