Masterclass: Getting started with your SoTL project
Are you a UCC staff member and preparing a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) project and not sure where to start? Or are you supporting colleagues in developing their SoTL work and looking for inspiration for your own professional development? We warmly invite you to join this interactive masterclass.
This on-campus masterclass will be delivered by SoTL expert Irma Meijerman, co-author of the Utrecht Roadmap for SoTL and Chair of EuroSoTL, and is designed to help you move from a teaching question to a clear starting point for your SoTL project. During the session, you will work with the first three steps of the updated Utrecht University Roadmap for Scholarship of Teaching and Learning - a practical framework that helps educators move from classroom practice to scholarly inquiry. Rather than trying to design a complete research project in one day, the focus will be on the most important first step: clarifying your focus and formulating a strong researchable teaching question.
Location: Dora Allman room, the Hub
Date: Tuesday, June 30
Time: 10:00-16:30
Cost: This event is free to attend but places are limited. Please register only if you can attend and let us know if your circumstances change so we can give your space to someone on our waiting list.

By the end of the session you will:
- gain clarity about your SoTL project idea
- develop a clear research question to guide your project
- better understand how teaching context, learning processes, and outcomes connect
- identify relevant literature and next steps
- connect with colleagues across disciplines working on SoTL
What to expect
The session will be interactive and practical, combining short inputs with discussions and hands-on exercises. You will work with your own teaching questions and exchange ideas with colleagues from different disciplines. You will leave the masterclass with a clear research question and a concrete direction for your SoTL project.
We look forward to welcoming you to an inspiring session of shared inquiry into teaching and learning.
