Opening Lines: Developing SOTL

This series of 8 sessions is for faculty interested in exploring questions centered around the scholarship of teaching and learning. SoTL can be defined as “systematic reflection on teaching and learning made public.”
The series is centered around discussion of the book Opening Lines: Approaches to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning edited by Pat Hutchins. The book is a series of SoTL case studies. The cases that constitute this volume represent work in progress by faculty selected as Carnegie Scholars with the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL). Each of the eight authors tells the story of her or his efforts at “opening lines” of inquiry into significant issues in the teaching and learning of the field. In particular, their accounts focus on the doing of this kind of investigative work – that is, on methods and approaches for undertaking the scholarship of teaching and learning. Opening Lines includes a cd-rom of supplementary documents, tools and resources.
