Abstract

‘A guide for educators’ is one of the key deliverables of the ‘Impact evaluation initiative of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)’ conducted at The Open University (OU), UK. The initiative has involved applying an Impact Evaluation Framework (IEF) to assess impact of 16 SoTL projects.
The ‘guide’ details the analyses of the impact of the case studies, and provides a toolkit for planning, evaluating, and communicating impact of SoTL.
Along with the guide, there are two ‘workbooks’ as supplementary resources which the SoTL community may find useful.
The ‘Planning for SoTL impact workbook’ has been designed around the ‘Theory of Change’ to guide the educator to systematically plan a SoTL project for possible impact.
The ‘SoTL impact evaluation workbook’ is designed around the IEF to conduct impact evaluation of SoTL projects.
The other two deliverables of the impact evaluation initiative, ‘An Executive Summary’ and ‘A compendium of case studies’ are available at: https://doi.org/10.21954/ou.ro.000155bf and https://doi.org/10.21954/ou.ro.000155c0, respectively.
