This seminar is being offered to all our HEA-accredited UNSW staff and to those who are interested in obtaining HEA accreditation in the future. UNSW staff interested in publishing SoTL are also welcome.
This session is an opportunity to hear from teaching and learning journal editors and reviewers on what makes a quality Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) publication. The panel will share their insights on what makes a quality publication submission, what editors/reviewers look for, common mistakes to avoid, identifying current areas of research need, tips to improve the quality of SoTL outputs, and more.
Participants are welcome to submit questions in advance via the registration form.
