From Idea to Action: Designing a Manageable SoTL Project (Fall 2026)

Many faculty have strong teaching questions but struggle to move from a good idea to an achievable project. This webinar introduces practical strategies for designing small-scale, realistic SoTL studies that fit within the constraints of a busy teaching schedule.
Participants will explore how to scope a project appropriately, identify evidence sources, anticipate common barriers, and create a simple action plan for implementation. The session emphasizes progress over perfection and demonstrates how meaningful SoTL can begin with modest, classroom-based investigations.
