to the field of SoTL.\u00a0 As you contextualize your findings, they become part of a broader continuous cycle of course or curriculum improvements, so SoTL work often considers the experience of the faculty member, lessons learned, how student experiences and learning were affected and the broader implications of the results for higher education.\u00a0 Sharing your findings can go beyond publication in a SoTL or disciplinary journal; faculty often present their innovations at their home institution or through venues such as educational conferences or newsletters.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"magicdomid59\" class=\"ace-line\" data-node-type=\"line\"><span class=\"author-3739674400 font-color-000000 font-size-medium\">This page was adapted from
