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 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.
