Summary

This book is an anthology of the best of the papers presented at three conferences held by the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning program at Indiana University. The SOTL program is a systematic research and research-based activity aimed at deepening and broadening the foundation of teaching practice and giving rise to new forms of knowledge through new forms of research -- forms that often focus on IU's own pedagogical practices.Contributors are Moya L. Andrews, Lei Bao, William E. Becker, Claude Cookman, Laura Fingerson, Marc Frantz, William H. Greene, Katherine Gold Hadley, George D. Kuh, Jeni Loftus, Daniel P.
