What is the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning?

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is the systematic study of teaching practices and learning experiences, where the goal is to improve student learning in the classroom or discipline. SoTL involves reflecting on your own teaching practices, exploring the scholarly literature and learning, engaging in research about these practices, and then disseminating findings to others. SoTL research can be conducted within and between disciplines.
