What is the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning?

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL) is a growing academic field dedicated to the study of teaching and learning, particularly in postsecondary settings. 

SOTL can involve classroom-based research, pedagogical reflection, and institution-wide assessment.  It finds its roots in a variety of fields (such as education, psychology, and composition studies).
