We have two opportunities for you to highlight your developing or completed scholarship. Over the summer, we will showcase teaching practices in the Teaching Showcase.

Each Teaching Showcase will focus on a different topic relevant to effective online instruction; the theme for the 2017 TS is the SCHOLARSHIP OF TEACHING AND LEARNING (SoTL). As educators, it is important to discover, reflect, and share teaching strategies with our colleagues and the collective community of teacher-scholars. As such, SoTL includes a broad range of pedagogical topics including:

• Teaching Strategies
• Curriculum
• Assessment
• Technology Integration
• Active Learning Strategies
• Reflective Practice
• Pedagogy
• Student Engagement
• Teaching Critical Thinking
• Student Learning
• Motivation
• As such, presentations will all focus on issues relevant to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. For example, topics might include
• Hybrid Classrooms
• Engaging Students in a Large-Enrollment Classroom
• Classroom Management Strategies
• Service-Learning Projects
• Classroom Assessment Techniques
• Classroom Design
• Online Teaching Strategies
• Teaching Exceptional Students
