Lessons Learned • SoTL can be an overwhelming topic • We built it, they came, but no SoTL work • Synchronous events, then online discussions • Convenience counts • Focus on SoTL, not the technology
Outputs • Raised awareness of new type of scholarship • Academic staff more interested in collaborative scholarship • Increased credibility & visibility for UWEX in UW System and beyond
Reflection & Discussion • Think about your use of technology in educational settings, whether distance, community, or campus-based. • How can I contribute to the body of knowledge & research in my area of teaching & learning with technology?
