Leveraging SoTL to Improve Teaching and Learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Maurer, Trent W.
International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, v16 n1 Article 3 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated unprecedented changes to teaching and learning in higher education. SoTL-active faculty were uniquely positioned to leverage their knowledge and expertise to improve teaching and learning during the pandemic not only in their own courses, but through a knowledge mobilization approach also in broader contexts (e.g., departmental colleagues, extradepartmental colleagues, etc.). In this piece, I reflect on how I leveraged my SoTL expertise, in conjunction with my disciplinary expertise, to improve teaching and learning in my courses and those of my colleagues, demonstrating the value of SoTL-active faculty as cosmopolitan assets to their institutions.
