How can we support academics who have an initial interest in SoTL? What may they already know and what knowledge and skills related to SoTL would they find useful, especially when they are starting out in SoTL? Do they have skills from their core discipline that are readily transferable? What questions and concerns may they have that, if addressed, can further motivate them to pursue SoTL? Can we support them in a way that is both effective as well as makes efficient use of their time investment?
Questions such as these were asked in the first stage of a two year project that led to developing, piloting and further refining an introduction to SoTL that is currently provided as a seven-hour short course offered in blended mode with two ninety minute face-to-face sessions and four hours of online effort in a small private online course (SPOC).
This interactive poster provides multimedia information to:
– describe the three stages of a multi-year project to develop the course
and
– provide access to elements of the current short course including
- intended learning outcomes
- content areas and modes of presentation
- interactive learning activities and assessments
- design decisions for face-to-face and online components
Please stop by to experience, provide feedback and engage in discussion. A take away QR code is provided so that the participants can refer to the poster at a later date and a version of the online portion of the short course will be available for access for a period of time after the conference is over.
