Introducing the HERDSA Scholarship of Teaching & Learning Modules

At the recent HERDSA Conference in Sydney, HERDSA New Scholars Portfolio members released the SoTL Modules. The aim of the modules is to start those new to SoTL on their journey by introducing the nature, purpose and processes of SoTL.

The modules have been specifically designed for the HERDSA community. Included are videos of prominent Australian and New Zealand HERDSA members contributing their valuable SoTL insight. The modules are also relevant for international scholars, acting as a capacity building resource to assist to develop and refine your SoTL knowledge and skills.
