Celebrate SoTL 2020

The third annual Celebrate SoTL Day hosted by the Institute for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (ISoTL) took place virtually on Thursday, October 22 and Friday, October 23, 2020. Over 50 faculty, staff and students attended the two events: an e-poster session and a well-being panel. We are so pleased that we were able to host, connect and engage with the UBC SoTL community in a revised, virtual form! These two events provided the opportunity for novice and experienced SoTL practitioners to share their stories, and engage in dialogues around teaching and learning.
