Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)

At Illinois State University, we have agreed to conceptualize SoTL as “systematic reflection/study on teaching and learning [of our ISU students] made public.” The ISU definition of SoTL was the product of a long discussion in 1998-1999 by a group of administrators, faculty, staff, and students to represent all colleges and other units and constituencies on campus
