SoTL in a Bottle (Scholarship of Teaching and Learning) - Friday, Feb. 12th, 4:30 - 5:30PM at Argos Inn

02/05/16

All faculty are invited to an informal gathering of folks on campus interested in SoTL. This gathering (and future ones) will be called eponomously—SoTL in a Bottle—as we share ideas and drinks at The Argos Inn during happy hour (4:30PM - 5:30PM). In addition to convivial hilarity, we will share our SotL ideas, projects, woes, stumbling blocks, and successes. The idea is to bring awareness and foster connections in our growing community of scholarly teachers and SoTL researchers. The next SOTL in a Bottle will be Friday, February 12, 4:30-5:30PM at the Argos Inn. 

At a previous SoTL in a Bottle, there was a request for a Sakai site so we could share resources. That Sakai site is now up and running and can be found here: https://sakai.ithaca.edu/portal/site/42a69c8f-bf9a-4392-a1b4-ef970dd090b1  I have added a few resources about SoTL and creativity; please feel free to add your own resources that you are willing to share! 

At the last event, those present thought it might be nice to read an article together and discuss it as part of our happy-hour gathering. Based on the conversations we've had so far, I thought this article by Stephen Chew might be a good place to start:

http://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/publications/observer/2010/april-10/improving-classroom-performance-by-challenging-student-misconceptions-about-learning.html

Stephen Chew's name has come up several times in our conversations, and this piece—although short—references many of the topics we've touched upon. I think it will be a good springboard for us.   Also, please feel free to forward this announcement to others you think may be interested.

 Thanks, and looking forward to seeing you! Debbie Rifkin
