SoTL: Benefits & Beginnings

Almost half of all ISU faculty engage in SoTL research, you should, too!
Join the SoTL community of scholars at ISU.

The SoTL Scholars program is a community of faculty and a series of events throughout the year that guide participants through the major components of SoTL research.  We bring faculty of all rans, all disciplines, and any level of SoTL knowledge together to better understand teaching and learning through research, collaboration, and resource gathering.

SoTL: Benefits & Beginnings

Let’s start at the very beginning. What is SoTL? Who benefits with SoTL research, and what are those benefits? This session provides the foundational knowledge necessary to embark on a SoTL journey and how it differs from scholarly teaching and disciplinary research. We will also discuss SoTL’s significance at Iowa State.

Featured Presenter: Sara Marcketti, Assistant Provost & Executive Director for the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT), Morrill Professor in the Apparel, Events, and Hospitality Management Department (AEHM)
