The SoTL Resource Group is a group of faculty/staff with expertise/experience in one or more areas of SoTL. This might be expertise in doing SoTL (e.g., designing studies, doing analyses, finding appropriate literature) or expertise in a substantive area on which one might conduct SoTL (e.g., collaborative learning, writing-across-the-curriculum, use of instructional technology).
Each of these individuals has agreed to serve as a volunteer resource person to others interested in doing SoTL. For each resource group member (they are listed in alphabetical order by last name), his/her contact information and area(s) or expertise are listed. You may contact any of these individuals to request advice or assistance with a SoTL project. Please note that those individuals with an asterisk (*) following their name served as a SoTL Scholar-Mentor for at least one semester and, as such, have cross-disciplinary SoTL experience.
If you have expertise in doing SoTL work and would like to become a member of this group, please contact SoTL@IllinoisState.edu
