"An Applied Introduction to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning is a next-generation 'Yellow Book' designed to walk scholars through the process of beginning their own journey into SoTL and establishing themselves as scholars in the global SoTL community."—Trent W. Maurer, Professor of Human Development and Family Science, Georgia Southern University "There is no other comprehensive workbook like this available. An Applied Introduction to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning provides a valuable resource for first-time and newish SoTL practitioners. Even experienced SoTL practitioners would likely find several chapters helpful."—Lauren Scharff, Director, SoTL Program and Professor of Behavioral Sciences, US Air Force Academy
