Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), an established, international field of scholarly inquiry and practice-based research, aims to enhance the post-secondary educational experience and advance the practice of teaching by grounding it in evidence of improved student learning. As part of our mandate, the FCDC undertakes SoTL projects and supports or collaborates with faculty in the development of SoTL projects, leading to conference presentations, publications and externally funded research projects.
FCDC staff are active contributors to national and provincial associations that advance research in educational development and technology-enabled learning, including the Council of Ontario Educational Developers (COED), the Ontario Universities Council on e-Learning (OUCEL) and the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE).
To learn more about SoTL or to collaborate with the FCDC on pedagogical research, please email us at FCDC@ocadu.ca.
