Now comes the fun part: designing a SoTL project of your own.

In this activity you will review the Scholar module information you have been presented with, any considerations and design links, and will continue to design and  build your own SoTL plan using the document created in the Outline Your SoTL activity

To Do:

  1. Update the SoTL plan to include considerations of any ethical concerns with the research you are planning.
  2. Share the link or upload the latest version of your SoTL plan as your response for 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 Designing Your SoTL Project section of the Scholar Module.
