Launched in 2022, the SOLER Journal Club series provides a forum for discussion of empirical SoTL Research papers and related commentary articles. Sessions are led by SOLER graduate student assistants, CTL colleagues, and other guests; occasionally, the author of the paper joins us as the presenter. Since 2023, the series has featured sessions on a roughly monthly basis. Details for the next session will be provided here.
