Now that you have completed the sections of the Scholarship module, you can begin to share your ideas with your peers and colleagues!

To Do:

Part 1

  1. Write a reflective response. Your response to this activity should reflect your thinking from the beginning of the Scholarship module to the point now where you have planned a research project. In your response include the following key points;
    • Describe your research questions
    • Describe the prior research you will undertake to inform your research design
    • Explain your plan of action
    • Present a dissemination strategy.
  2. Visualize where the project will go. In your response, insert an open-licensed or original image that represents the direction you intend to go with this SoTL research. (See the Consider This activity from the Curator module for tips.)

Part 2

  1. Share your SoTL Research Plan in the SoTL Folder. 
    • If you worked on your project plan as a Google Doc, move a copy of it to the SoTL Research Plan Folder.
      • Visit the folder.
      • From the dropdown menu under the label SoTL Folder, select Add To My Drive. This places a reference to this folder in your own Google Drive.
      • Navigate in your own Drive to find your Research Plan document.
      • Right or control click on the name in the directory listing, and use the Move command to list your document in the SoTL Folder (Note: this does not remove your file, it places a reference for it inside the shared folder).
    • If you composed your plan as a Word document, visit the SoTL Folder. To share your file in this directory, drag and drop your file into the folder.
  2. Submit a shared link to or upload your plan in your response to this activity.
  3. After you make your submission, save the web address to your response (found in the green confirmation box) so you can use it later for your badge submission form.

This activity is part of the Sharing Your SoTL Plan section of the Scholar Module.

    I enjoyed this module and how it showed ways to turn continuous improvement into research projects. The link below explains my project, which hopefully would result in collaborative and engaging classrooms, like the image provided. https://bank.ecampusontario.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/TVisser-Plan-for-a-SoTL-Project.pdf

    ** The actual plan is already shared in the SoTL Folder under ‘SoTL Mindmap Prject’       My journey has been one of exploration, discovery, and growth as I looked into the realm of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) framework. My curiosity was around enhancing students’ learning experiences, so I asked the more… »

      This module made be excited to teach this fall, if I get the opportunity. At the core of why I wanted to teach was student engagement which has been extremely low.  I felt I had tried to do a good job of not being just a boring lecturing teacher but what every I have more… »

    Reflective Response: As someone with a science background, research and analyzing data is familiar to me. However I do find that researching topics within disciplines such as education may be a challenge for me because there are instances where I believe what I find may be subjective and can change based on conscious and unconscious more… »

    Share Your SoTL Research Plan Part -1 My research question is: How can a new holistic definition of leadership in project management be provided? In the project management context we rely on definitions provided by institutions that standardize the practice, in our case, the Project Management Institute PMI. However, in the latest literature, there was more… »

  • Reflection
    by Renee Berquist (@rberquist)

    Reflection: This has been a well designed module. I have experience as a researcher, so for me, it has not been as valuable a learnignopportunity as the other modules have been.   I completed by PhD in 2016, and prior to that had some experience with SoTL research, including designing academic integrity online modules with more… »

    Part 1: This module has been more difficult than other modules for me. I had a difficult time conceptualizing what I might want to research in my SoTL. The AHA moment for me was in examining the resources on D2L and finding student misconceptions as a starting point for SoTL. I used that resource to more… »

      This module was a good exercise. I have some experience putting together research applications, but have always on some level, considered research separate from teaching. The results apply to teaching practice, but I hadn’t considered how I could treat my classroom as a source of inquiry. I like the idea.

      The Google document shared here is really a call to action on my part. I have now a vision and want to act upon it. My only concern at this point is the time it will take to get approvals from all the parties involved and locating the funding whilst doing all the initial setup more… »
