Scholarly Teaching: First Steps in SoTL with Dr Robyn Yucel

Our first SoTL SIG for 2026 brought an insightful start to the year, with Dr Robyn Yucel guiding us through the foundations of scholarly teaching and its relationship with the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). The session was rich with thoughtful provocations and gentle demystification – perfect for colleagues who are new to SoTL as well as those looking to deepen their practice.

What is SoTL, and why does it matter?
