Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-20309-2_5 I think my key message from this chapter was: The authors state that as of now there is no point to pay attention to inclusion or exclusion criteria for a definition of SoTL; but to engage […]

12 Days of SoTL: Day 09
Data Collection On day nine we reflect that whilst we have chosen our methods, there are some considerations to take into account when it comes to actually ‘doing the collecting’ of data.

Are you too worried to try something new? What about […]

The tricky bit with this area is, if you are not from a cognate discipline, your usual research databases might not yield many or any relevant results for your question.
