• International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (ISSoTL) is a membership based international society interested in promoting teaching and learning as serious intellectual work. It publishes a newsletter (called the International Commons), holds an annual conference, runs a list-serv and has a number of Special Interest Groups:
  • Advancing Undergraduate Research
  • The Humanities
  • National Teaching Fellows and Institutional Teaching Award Winners
  • Problem based learning
  • Sociology
  • Students as Co-Inquirers
• The International Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning is a US-based publication which regularly publishes research about and examples of SoTL in various disciplines and from around the world.
• The Higher Education Research and Development Society Australasia (HERDSA) is the professional society for university staff interested in SoLT and Higher Education research. The Society’s journal Higher Education Research and Development recently published a Special Issue (30/1, 2011) focused on the scholarship of learning and teaching.
