About SoTL and the Symposium

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is a form of educational research that offers faculty a way to investigate and answer questions that emerge from their practice as course instructors. SoTL research can involve qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches as well as case study, quasi-experimental, and experimental research designs.

The SoTL Symposium is an opportunity for UVM faculty to explore innovative teaching, connect with colleagues, and engage in meaningful discussions about teaching and learning. Presenters will share their work, and attendees will gain valuable insights to enhance their own practice. This symposium is sponsored by the Office of the Provost and presented by the College of Engineering and Mathematics and the Center for Teaching and Learning.

When: May 14, 2026
