Learn about SoTL and share your work!
Attend or present at GMU’s annual Innovations in https://stearnscenter.gmu.edu/programs/annual-conference-itl/Teaching and Learning (ITL) conference (held the last week in September). The conference is when the Mason community, and others from the DMV area, come together to exchange teaching and learning ideas, practices, and SoTL work. There are opportunities for you to learn about getting started in SoTL, as well as a variety of ways to share your SoTL work (whether it is an idea in your head or full project results to present). Be sure to attend the SoTL Lightning Talk Showcase Session at ITL—consistently the most popular session after the keynote speaker address!
