We invite scholar project submissions for the
International Institute for SoTL Scholars and Mentors (IISSAM) from May 30 -
June 2, 2013 at LMU in Los Angeles.
The goal of the Institute is to support SoTL scholars at
all levels of experience through mentoring so that they can investigate their
teaching and their students' learning in a thorough and systematic way. The
Institute offers careful discussions of all contributions based on mutual
support and constructive feedback and through the selection of a theme that
gives all participants a common lens with which to investigate their own
teaching and share their experiences.
This year’s topic is Storytelling. We will investigate
the role of storytelling for our teaching, how stories convey meanings and enhance
abstract concepts, how courses tell a story and can be constructed like a
story, how autobiographical elements are relevant for our classes, how we frame
and solve problems through narrative approaches, how stories can be used for
research purposes, and much more. The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
(SoTL) serves as a lens by which we explore our teaching and our students’
learning.
Deadline for Scholar Project

February 22, 2013
Deadline for Poster Submissions:

With apologies for any cross-postings.
Best,
Dorothea.
IISSAM is organized by a consortium of Canisius College,
Columbia College Chicago, Creighton University, Loyola Marymount University,
Truman State University, and University of Houston-Clear Lake. The Institute
continues the tradition of the Carnegie Foundation's National Scholars Program
(1998-2005) which brought together outstanding faculty committed to
investigating and documenting significant issues in the teaching and learning
in their fields.
P.S.: Due to technical difficulties last week, we did
extend the scholar project submissions to 2/22; in the meantime, the blind
review process of submitted proposals has begun.
