More about this event:

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning is at the cutting edge of academic research and was developed as a way of exploring teaching modalities and student learning. This year’s theme, “Storytelling,” will focus on the role of stories for teaching.

During this three-day event, participants will investigate how stories convey meanings and enhance abstract concepts, how courses tell a story and can be constructed like a story, how stories can be used for research purposes, and much more.

The goal of the institute is to support SoTL scholars at all levels of experience through mentoring so that they examine in a systematic way the effectiveness of their classroom teaching and their students' learning.

Keynote speakers can be seen here.

The International Institute for SoTL Scholars and Mentors is a consortium of scholars from Canisius College, Columbia College Chicago, Creighton University, Loyola Marymount University, Truman State University, and University of Houston-Clear Lake.
