The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: Contributions of Research Universities

This anthology presents the best papers delivered at three conferences sponsored by the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning program at Indiana University Bloomington. The SOTL program is a systematic research and research-based program aimed at deepening and broadening the foundation of teaching practice and generating new forms of knowledge through new forms of research--forms that often focus on IU's own pedagogical practices.
