This paper presents the results of one regional comprehensive institution’s efforts to implement an infrastructure that provides both recognition and reward for research into the scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL).

The changes wrought at WCU suggest a path that may be particularly instructive to similar institutions that may be contemplating the use of a more expansive definition of scholarship into their institutional culture.read more
