Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) at UW
The University of Wyoming's Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) initiative provides a platform for the academic community to contribute to scholarship, creative work, and discovery of knowledge in the realm of teaching and learning. SoTL incorporates research methodologies to conduct a systematic and evidence-based inquiry, contributing to the scholarship of teaching and learning. Engaging in SoTL projects allows faculty and educators to:
- Embrace and experiment with new quality teaching approaches and strategies promoting a culture of continuous advancement in teaching practices.
- Explore and reflect on their teaching methods and students' learning experiences to better meet the diverse learning needs within the academic community.
- Implement collaborative reflections in the coursework to affect pedagogy and enhance the overall learning experience for students.
- Empower a collaborative action and inquiry-based research spirit among faculty and educators through the processes and reflection and assessment.
