Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Community of Practice

Good information helps to inform good teaching. Many Faculty engage in classroom-based research regarding their teaching practices (what is working, what isn’t working well, activity types, support mechanisms…). In order to help support and facilitate this type of research, the Teaching Centre has created a community of practice in this area. Participants in the group range from early career teachers to veterans who are engaging in classroom research. Projects range in size from individuals looking at a single aspect of their teaching in a single course all the way up to large-scale institutional research projects (the first of which was the institutional Academic Dishonesty research project) that has just gone through a second set of data collection. The group usually meets monthly during the regular school year (September to May) to discuss different research projects that people are engaged in, share ideas, offer assistance and even support.
