In this episode Dr Andrea Webb who is Associate Professor of Teaching & Area Coordinator (Social Studies), Department of Curriculum & Pedagogy at The University of British Columbia (Canada) was so kind to answer a host of questions about SoTL and introduce SoTL in Canada to us.

In this podcast Dr Paula Karlsson-Brown shares her experience about becoming a SoTL scholar. This episode is a collaboration with the Open Scholarship Journal and is part of Paula's article. 

In this podcast, Prof. Border briefly explores his professional background and his move to the University of Glasgow as the newly appointed Head of Anatomy. Scott also introduces his Teaching and Scholarship Podcast series (https://meinpodcast.libsyn.com/), which has been successfully running for the past couple of years and aims to promote teaching excellence within university education.

In this podcast, Dr Nicola Veitch and Dr Michelle Welsh (University of Glasgow) are exploring how to get involved with SoTL research especially when starting as an early career academic. Based on previous experience, Nicola and Michelle discuss what scholarships means, how to start with SoTL research and how to identify projects, the importance of collaborations, the need for ethics, funding opportunities, and many more valuable nuggets of knowledge. Podcast edited by Dr Ourania Varsou (University of Glasgow).

Meet our Colleagues from the Adam Smith Business School Dr Helen Mullen, Dr Nick Quinn, and Dr Matt Offord sharing their experience moving into lecturer roles with learning, teaching, and scholarship focus after having successful careers in the private sector. Hear about the trials and tribulations adjusting to academic life and becoming involved in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. And in fact what makes the involvement with SoTL so attractive as part of the career in higher education. 

Today I have the pleasure to speak to Sam Oakley who works for the research integrity office about how RI features in Scholarship of Teaching and Learning and we may or may not make reference to a Disney movie. 

In this episode I have the absolute pleasure to speak with Prof Susan Jamieson about becoming a professor on a Learning, Teaching and Scholarship track, which is a teaching (rather than research) focussed academic career path. It usually involves the engagement in a variety of SoTL activities. The academic community under #LTHEchat and #AcademicChatter as well as colleagues from our institution submitted questions I should ask Susan. We had an A4 sheet full of questions so today's episode is a bit longer than usual! 

This is the paper Susan mentions during the interview: http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/59552/

And this is Susan's Twitter Handle: @SusanJHPE 

In this episode Paul Cannon who is one of our college librarians is talking about all the things the librarians can support when it comes to undertaking SoTL, but there are also some tips on searches, databases and publication. Tune in for more. And if you want to read up on some of the items we spoke about hop over to Paul's blog post on our SoTL blog.

In this episode Dr Vicki Dale is giving us tips about how to design questionnaires for SoTL projects. We talk question design, when to use or not to use a questionnaire, and what to do about demographic data. 

Correction: Vicki referred to measures of central displacement but meant measures central dispersion.

These are the references Vicki is mentioning in this episode:
