To further its goals, the Institute is open for UBC faculty members to join as members. The intent of the membership program is to establish a formal group of experts to strengthen SoTL at UBC, who engage in independent and collaborative SoTL inquiry within and beyond the classroom, and support each other in scholarly dissemination. Learn about the current ISoTL members.
Benefits of membership:
- A formal association with ISoTL.
- Participate in organized networking events with ISoTL members focused on creating collaborations and receiving peer feedback.
- Engagement in collaborative projects and writing groups.
ISoTL members agree to:
- Contribute to ISoTL events and programs. For example, serving as panelists or facilitators, as interests and schedules allow.
- Contribute to informal peer review of other members’ grant proposals and publications.
- Promote a culture of teaching as a scholarly activity within and across their discipline. For example, helping others get started with SoTL and sharing expertise.
- Participate in three membership meetings per year (once per term).
- Have their name, affiliation, email address and research interests displayed on the ISoTL website.
- Report successful SoTL grants, presentations, and publications to ISoTL for showcasing.

To apply, please complete this form. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis (approximately once every 3-4 months).
