Abilene Christian provides an example of an effective SOTL initiative at very modest cost in a private institution with about 4500 students. Faculty participants make a year-long commitment to get their projects to the stage of publication. They are given small stipends for materials and resources. An outside consultant provides a day long workshop to help shape the projects. Ongoing support is provided through peer meetings and videoconferences with the consultant.
