CETL-SOTL Fellows recruitment call
Once again CETL is collaborating with SoTL by Design, to offer the opportunity to participate in SoTL by Design’s online course and a complementary emergent CETL learning community to a limited number of faculty. The goal of the entire program is to advance the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) at UConn by providing faculty with the knowledge, skills and confidence to develop and conduct SoTL projects and publish the project findings. The discipline of SoTL uses evidence-based methods to research effective teaching and student learning. The findings of SoTL projects are then peer reviewed and publicly disseminated in an ongoing cycle of systematic inquiry into classroom practices.
SoTL by Design will provide a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to designing and implementing a scholarship of teaching and learning project. The training includes a video-based online course, a hardcopy workbook, and live quarterly Q&A sessions with the SoTL by Design staff (more on this portion in the appended brochure). These online modules are supplemented with a local UConn faculty working group, CETL programming, and HuskyCT-based resources.
Faculty participants would be asked to commit to completing the online program and workbook, be engaged in group meetings with facilitators, and attend 2-3 sessions with key UConn personnel. The program will run throughout the spring semester with some follow-up in the fall semester. Faculty would be responsible for individually watching the videos and completing some prep work in designing their SoTL project. The online course consists of 8 modules with multiple short videos per module. Each module contains approximately 30 minutes of videos. The facilitators anticipate monthly meetings with the group but can meet more often if the group feels it is beneficial to do so.
CETL is inviting interested faculty that are available to start in mid-January, 2020 on a first come first serve basis. It would be at no cost to the individual.
If you would like your department represented in this emerging group, please feel free to forward this information. Those interested to take advantage of this invitation, should contact Martina.rosenberg@uconn.edu directly.
