• Resumen

  • The Center for Teaching and Learning Enhancement in Saxony (Hochschuldidaktisches ZentrumSachsen-HDS) offers a comprehensive certificate programme for 13 universities. Within the project“Teaching Practice in Transferplus” (Lehrpraxis im Transferplus-LiTplus) the HDS offers a new format calledLiT.School.At the LiT.School participants from different universities and with a diverse professionalbackground get to know Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and —step by step— design aSoTL project. For one week, they are being instructed and guided by experts regarding data collectionand data evaluation. After the school, the participants are prepared to realize their research projectindependently and have the opportunity to share their experiences regularly in informal meetingswith their SoTL peers. After finishing the research projects they publish the results. The intention ofthe LiT.School is to implement the format ‘school’ as an incubator for SoTL projects. In the long run aninterdisciplinary SoTL community of practice is envisioned spanning different universities in Saxony.This conference proceeding describes the context in which the LiT.School is embedded andits concept, results and impact hitherto. It gives an idea how centers for teaching and learningenhancement can effectively bring together motivated scholars who are interested in or already practiceSoTL, and support them to create sustainable communities of practice.
