About ISSOTL

The International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (ISSOTL) serves faculty members, staff, and students who care about teaching and learning as serious intellectual work. The goal of the Society is to foster inquiry and disseminate findings about what improves and articulates post-secondary learning and teaching.

The International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning was founded in 2004 by a committee of 67 scholars from several countries.

ISSOTL was organized to:

Facilitate the collaboration of scholars in different countries and the flow of new findings and applications across national boundaries;
Encourage the integration of discovery, learning and public engagement; and,
Advocate for support, review, recognition, and appropriate uses of the scholarship of teaching and learning.
