Description

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Methods course provides a self-paced, independent approach to learning about the most commonly used research methods in SoTL. The course is available by clicking on “Self-Registration” on the top navigation bar of your LEARN homepage and selecting “SoTL Methods” from the list of available courses.

The course is comprised of five units:

• Unit 1 – Introduction to SoTL

• Unit 3 – Methodological approaches to conducting teaching and learning research
• Unit 4 – Software options
• Unit 5 – Conclusions

Each unit shares information, literature, resources, and examples of how you might consider conducting this research. Access as much or as little as you need, and check in with the course authors as you progress through the material to follow-up and plan your next steps with your SoTL project.
