SoTL Institute

What improves student learning in your classroom? Does that new strategy you implemented make a difference? The SoTL Institute provides structure and support as you design and carry out your own SoTL project. If you are new to the SoTL process, you will design an informal SoTL Pilot Study that will help you improve your teaching. If you are more experienced, you may work on a more formal SoTL project that might lead to publication. Your final product for the Institute will be a proposal for the Midwest SoTL Conference held at IU South Bend each spring.
