<p>We see SOTL as simply inquiry into teaching and learning for the purposes of improving teaching and learning in context and then contributing to what we know about teaching and learning in support of the broader aims of higher education.<br />
-Nancy Chick</p>
<p>What I usually say when I speak to colleagues and academics who are sort of starting a SOTL journey is to start small, small steps, and whatever is a low threshold.<br />
-Katarina Mårtensson</p>
<p>I can’t go through this book and say who wrote this sentence or this section or whose idea this part was, because it really is a product of the three of us.<br />
-Peter Felten</p>
