Register for Our May Webinar – “Evidence Matters: Using the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning to Tell the Story of Curriculum Development”

By Eliza Reilly #Dr. Jackie Dewar, #Dr. Matt Siniawski, #Dr. Rikki Wagstrom, #Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, #Service Learning, #SoTL, #Sustainability, #webinar

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is a form of research that involves a systematic investigation of teaching practices and student learning followed by peer review and public sharing of the work for others to build upon. This webinar begins with an overview of the key aspects of SoTL, situating it within a spectrum of scholarly work on teaching and learning. Two in-depth case studies, one involving service learning and the other involving sustainability, illustrate how SoTL can contribute to the process of developing, assessing, and disseminating curriculum. One particular SoTL component highlighted in this webinar is the role literature searches play in both shaping and refining questions as well as providing the background context required for publication. Resources for undertaking a SoTL investigation are made available to all participants.

The webinar will be held Thursday, May 5 from 12-1 pm (Eastern).

It will be hosted by:

  • Dr. Jackie Dewar (Professor Emerita of Mathematics, Loyola Marymount University)
  • Dr. Matthew Siniawski (Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Loyola Marymount University)
  • Dr. Rikki Wagstrom (Associate Professor of Mathematics, Metropolitan State University)
Participants new to SoTL may want to view “Inquiring Into Our Students’ Learning – The Scholarship of Teaching & Learning” by Dr. Matthew A. Fisher of Saint Vincent University before the May 5th webinar. This recording provides helpful background on SoTL, and will be referenced by Jackie, Matt, and Rikki during their webinar.
