At MUM we value the scholarship of teaching and learning and attempt to define it in broad terms, as the “systematic reflection/study of teaching and learning made public.” The links on this page offer some resources for exploring this field.

“International Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. ” The inaugural issue of this peer-reviewed journal appeared in January 2007. Click here for the latest issue. If you would like to join the journal’s dicussion list about SOTL and the improvement of student learning, click here.
“International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.” This journal’s goal is provide a forum for higher education faculty, staff, administrators, researchers, and students who are interested in improving post-secondary instruction. Click here for the latest issue.
