Nancy Chick, Peter Felten, and Katarina Mårtensson share about The SoTL Guide: (Re)Orienting the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning on episode 616 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

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.
-Nancy Chick

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.
-Katarina Mårtensson

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.
-Peter Felten

Matthew Mahavongtrakul and Bonni Stachowiak have a conversation about being kind to our future selves on episode 615 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Not everything that comes your way is an emergency. Not everything that comes your way has to demand your immediate attention.
-Matthew Mahavongtrakul

Once you are comfortable with your system and you’re iterating, it actually starts to become second nature, not only to professional life, but to personal life as well.
-Matthew Mahavongtrakul

An exercise that I did with my supervisor once was to actually go through each of these tasks and to see what I thought was high priority, was it actually high priority for the job that I was in?

Bonni Stachowiak shares how to keep your Personal Knowledge Mastery (PKM) real simple with RSS on episode 614 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Rather than get that overwhelmed feeling of how hard it’s going to be to keep up, I don’t have to, and neither do you. Enter RSS, Real Simple Syndication.
-Bonni Stachowiak

It’s pretty spectacular how, if somebody knows about RSS, and they’ve subscribed to a blog or a website, how you can find people that you have a lot in common with, and get going with your curiosity.
-Bonni Stachowiak

It’s amazing what happens when, before we start trying to lecture or share information, we ask people to predict something. Even if they end up predicting incorrectly, there still is that connection where we’ve piqued their curiosity.
