The Great Big Online SoTL Glossary

With the expanding nature of scholarship in Higher Education, having an agreed source of information to work from is helpful in facilitating communication and integration across diverse teams and disciplines who engage in scholarship. In this session we aim to start the process of developing and creating an online, open access, collaborative compendium for those working in the scholarship of teaching and learning. We will start by building the bones of a large glossary that can be referred to by staff and students, old and new, through an interactive discussion and workshop to establish structure and entries. In addition, we will facilitate an active discussion as to what additional information should be contained within future iterations of the compendium that would reduce barriers into SoTL and that would allow new members to become more active in the area. We welcome all contributions and would recommend attendees consider terms and definitions for the glossary in advance to make the most of the session.
