The Center
for Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship (CTLS) will host the 6th annual
“The SoTL Commons” conference in Savannah, Georgia. The conference brings
together people engaging in SoTL and anyone wanting to improve student
learning outcomes in higher education today. The conference epitomizes that
college teaching is intellectual work that is enhanced both by disciplinary
scholarship and the scholarship on teaching the disciplines (SoTL). The
SoTL Commons Conference is a catalyst for learning, conversations and
collaborations about SoTL as a key, evidence-based way to improve student
learning.

of Michigan).

The SoTL Commons Logo: The
Nautilus
The logo for the conference is the
chambered nautilus shell. The self-propelling nautilus grows chamber by
chamber, each one larger than the previous one, in an unfolding spiral as
it develops steadily over time. The shell's elegant trajectory opens
outward and its dynamic design is like the persevering, quiet movement of SoTL
through the currents of teaching and learning. The SoTL Commons Conference
aspires to be a growing, spiraling, lively catalyst for the international
momentum of SoTL, encouraging the opening up and opening out of teaching
and how students best learn into public conversations and collaborations.
The spiraling pattern of the nautilus is found throughout nature. The
conference is simply, but importantly, one swirl in the overall SoTL
spiraling transformation of the nature of teaching and academic culture.
