From Classroom to Community: Sharing SoTL Findings with Diverse Audiences
Learning and teaching happens everywhere, not just within the confines of traditional
educational settings. Consequently, the potential implications of Scholarship of Teaching
and Learning (SoTL) investigations can be far-reaching beyond academia. Are you sharing
your SoTL results in a public-facing way? What have your experiences been like so
far? In this session, we will discuss motivations, opportunities, and challenges involved
in sharing SoTL findings via public, mainstream mediums (e.g., videos, social media,
etc.), with an emphasis on tailoring communication strategies to suit diverse audience
needs and interests. Using specific examples, we will also explore public dissemination
approaches to making SoTL findings more accessible and actionable for diverse audiences.
