Nominate Yourself or Someone Else for an ISSOTL Officer's Position

A growing international organization dedicated to the scholarship of teaching and learning needs leaders who are original thinkers, hard workers, and esteemed colleagues in the profession. ISSOTL’s officers establish new directions for the organization while managing the ongoing activities and services of the Society.  Look for announcements from the ISSOTL Leadership and Elections Committee as new officers needed. For more information, visit the Elections information on the Governance page.

Develop a Comprehensive, International Wikipedia Entry for "the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning"

As many observed at the 2006 ISSOTL conference, we need to better understand the terms and concepts essential to SOTL around in different countries and regions, rather than expect everyone to conform to the language used in North America or even the United States.  Get involved by developing a thorough, international entry in Wikipedia.
