Publishing in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Workshop
Universities are dynamic spaces where attitudes and approaches to teaching are changing rapidly. Are you learning about new ways to engage your students, or trialling an intervention to improve learning outcomes? Have you thought about how and where to publish your education research? Which journals are suitable for these studies, and what are their editors looking for? This interactive workshop is designed to help you understand how you can contribute to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. We will explore review criteria, the structure of abstracts, and how to create engaging (and useful) titles and keywords. 11 Feb
