Wondering if you should get involved in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL)? You’re not alone. As a higher education instructor, it’s easy to wonder: Isn’t teaching enough? Why do I need to research my teaching? How can considering ways to explore student learning be research? The short answer is engaging with SOTL can enhance your own teaching, support your colleagues in strengthening theirs, and at the same time support student engagement and learning. However, it’s not always a simple shift.
