Approaches to SoTL: the SoTL Staircase

This event is a CMBE Community Meeting and is open to CMBE Subscribers only.

In this 60-minute session, members of the CMBE community are invited to learn more about an institutional approach to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, including different forms of dissemination such as case studies, podcasts and an internal SoTL repository.  

Sue Beckingham, CMBE, will share her own experiences and best practice from Sheffield Hallam University, centred around her visual tool, the SoTL staircase. 

The visual staircase represents how an educator can gradually build confidence in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) by engaging in different forms of dissemination. Each step not only enhances the impact of the intervention but also aims to foster professional growth and confidence in SoTL, supporting an inclusive approach to engaging in scholarship. During this session participants will explore practical ways to make SoTL work visible, from informal conversations to formal publications and the benefits of doing so.
