Learning Research

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) enables ways to improve teaching in various disciplinary contexts, in higher education; this framework begins with measures of what learners actually learn in a formal course and identifies ways to improve the teaching. The SoTL framework was used to inform part of a recent grant application for a multi-institution, multi-year research project in the soil sciences. Using SoTL for projected grant-funded work involved the following, an in-depth exploration of the literature a light exploration of the local context (soil science and agronomy) variations on traditional SoTL (and innovative thinking from educational research) pragmatics and practical planning, frugal budget planning to inform a general sense of direction, with the details to be filled in later (if funded). This work suggests the importance of studying a framework in depth but applying it lightly to enable riffing in new directions.

Require Information

Research of all types plays a critical role in instructional design. For example, instructional designers/developers require information about a number of disciplines, about their field, about human learners. They also conduct user research to pilot-test the learning designs. And, they also need to conduct research to better understand the teaching and learning dynamics. In any number of research approaches, visual stills (diagrams, photos, maps, data plots, and others) and moving visuals (video snippets, 4D simulations, and others) may be used to elicit information and discover new insights. This chapter addresses some of the visual ID related to research.
