Spotlight on SoTL projects at Conestoga
The Centre for Scholarship of Teaching and Learning promotes academic scholarship by supporting faculty in their exploration of teaching and learning. We encourage innovative projects designed to examine compelling issues related to teaching and learning excellence. There have been a growing number of SoTL research projects from a variety of schools and departments at Conestoga. Some researchers have secured additional funding through Conestoga’s New and Emerging Research Grants and internal Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council grants to support their SoTL research.
