Abstract
In this session we will explore the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) as the connective thread between teaching and research. We will consider the specific nature of SoTL, the forms of inquiry that SoTL investigations may take and the various types of impact we may achieve from our SoTL work. The session aims to support you in finding your connection to SoTL and meaning within this space.
