MegaSoTL: Supporting pedagogical research across multiple institutions
MegaSoTL projects are SoTL projects that generate evidence of learning from multiple institutions. While being increasingly practiced, MegaSoTL projects and their potential contribution to improve higher education pedagogy remain understudied in higher education literature. In this paper, we introduce Transparency in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (TILT) and ManyClasses, as two MegaSoTL case studies and we describe their research goals, processes and administration. We then discuss the potentials and challenges of MegaSoTL projects for educational developers to promote the scholarship of teaching and learning at micro and mega levels. The paper concludes with recommendations to develop a collaborative infrastructure for supporting MegaSoTL projects.
