The panel consists of five of the inaugural University System of Georgia SoTL Fellows - a new system-wide initiative on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Throughout the course of the fellowship, participants will familiarize themselves with existing scholarly research on teaching and learning, and will be encouraged to develop a long-term SoTL research agenda of their own. The purpose of the program is to foster a community of learners and to provide support while participants design and implement a classroom-based research project. Panel members will share personal experiences that led to the initiation of their SoTL project, provide a general description of the project and its implications for teaching and learning in their discipline and/or across disciplines, as well as the reasons that prompted them to apply for the fellowship.
