Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, Innovative Pedagogy is a refereed, open-access journal that facilitates an ongoing cycle of systematic inquiry into teaching practices of all types, and showcases the great work of faculty, staff, and students. The Journal findings are a mixed working paper and peer review model, shared openly worldwide.
