SoTL Canada is a special interest group (SIG) of the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. The SIG pages can be found at http://www.stlhe.ca/special-interest-groups/scholarship-of-teaching-and-learning-canada/. Please browse our pages for information and consider joining the SIG!
The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) has at its core the goal of improving student learning. This is achieved through scholarly inquiry about learning, about teaching, and about how to best make public the resulting findings. SoTL Canada provides a targeted opportunity for SoTL scholars to form a community to share findings and challenges, engage in opportunitites for broader dissemination of SoTL work, and consider ways to catalyze SoTL initiatives at the institutional, regional, national, and international levels.
Please share your knowledge and experience with your colleagues, share your best-practices and post information about new opportunities on this site.
