Join the DSL Graduate Arts Fellow, Hailey Becker (Art, Art History and Design and Forestry) in a workshop on using 360 cameras to capture changes to place. Participants will be guided through the basics of recording and editing 360 footage, ending with their  footage being displayed in the Digital Scholarship Lab 360 Room. Using 360 footage can be a great way to archive an artistic practice or scientific research. No experience required, all levels welcome!

Curious about conducting research in your classroom as a means to improve student outcomes? Join us for an informative workshop that introduces the fundamentals of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), which involves the systematic study of teaching and learning in higher education to improve student success. In this session, you'll discover how SoTL can transform your teaching and contribute to your professional growth. We'll guide you through the key steps of a SoTL inquiry, from formulating research questions to sharing your findings. Plus, you'll explore examples of impactful SoTL projects and learn about resources available to help you get started. Whether you're new to SoTL or looking to refine your approach, this session offers valuable insights into the research-based approach to improving student learning.

Upon completion of this learning experience, participants will be able to:


define SoTL and describe its core principles
explain the importance of SoTL in enhancing student learning and improving teaching practices
identify differences between SOTL and traditional research in higher education
describe how SoTL can contribute to professional development, tenure, and promotion in higher education
