*Please note, the session on 9th June 23 is now FULLY BOOKED -

This session will take place ON CAMPUS, in the Teaching and Learning Building, Room TL329 - 9.30 - 12.30.

In response to overwhelming demand, and to ensure the workshop is accessible to as many colleagues as possible, Mick and Ruth have agreed to run the same  workshop a second time. Please do not book on both sessions as they are both the same.  This alternative session will take place ONLINE on 16th June from 9.30 - 12.30. Login details will be given once you register by clicking ‘book course’.

Please only register for one session.

The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) involves three essential and integrated elements:  

  • engagement with the scholarly contributions of others on teaching and learning;  
  • reflection on one’s own teaching practice and the learning of students within the context of a particular discipline
  • communication and dissemination of aspects of practice and theoretical ideas about teaching and learning in general and teaching and learning within the discipline (Martin et al, 1998).  

This interactive workshop will explore with participants the meaning of the terms excellent/effective teaching, scholarly teaching, and scholarship of teaching and learning, and discuss some of the issues around this evolving concept, including a discussion of how to engage with SoTL through identifying and responding to what is variously referred to in the literature as ‘bottlenecks’ to student learning and ‘troublesome knowledge’. Specific examples of how institutions and disciplines are engaged in SoTL will be examined and the role of engaging students in SoTL discussed. The session will focus on the different ways in which participants can engage with SoTL. It will end with a discussion about how participants can be involved in the Developing SoTL programme.
