Today I am having a chat with Dr Scott Ramsay about his experience of organising dissemination fairs at the University of Glasgow. Scott shares some insights and learning from these as well as resources and two different ways of organising such a fair. 

If you want to listen to advice from the editors Scott speaks about you can catch up on the YouTube playlist:

And the SoTL Infographic we talked about: SoTL Process Infographic – Adventures in Academic Development (acdevadventures.blog)

Today, my colleague Karen Thompson shares her experience of undertaking the MEd in Academic Practice. How this works next to a busy fulltime lecturing job, joining the masters via a non-traditional route and how it impacted her work and teaching. 

In this episode I am talking to Dr Michael McEwan head of subject for our MEd in Academic Practice program. Michael is explaining a bit how credit bearing SoTL provision at the University of Glasgow is organised, and shares findings from a case study he conducted with early career researchers on our program and their perceptions and understanding of SoTL. 

In this episode I am talking to Dr Matt Barr, who is a lecturer in the School of Computing Sciences, University of Glasgow about game based learning, gamification and how to undertake scholarship of teaching and learning to understand the impact these have on the learners. 

Below are the references mentioned in the podcast and Matt's Twitter handle if you want to get in touch with him.

In this episode I have the pleasure to interview Dr Natasha Taylor, about the international and asynchronous SoTLwalks she organises once a month online since the first pandemic lockdown hit. Natasha is originally from the UK but has been living in Australia for some years, so she kindly postponed her dinner and I my breakfast and we met at our respective ends of the ether to talk all things SoTLwalk.

These are the links to some of the resources and projects Natasha mentioned:

The original title was 'Living by the Proverb', this is a bit of an experiment contemplating how our upbringing our background influences and shapes our teaching identities, and why this is important for our practice.
