Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (SoTL) Faculty Fellows

The work of the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (SoTL) Faculty Fellows is to further the study of factors that impact student learning. Each SoTL Fellow will develop a scholarly research project on an aspect of their own teaching that they are interested in investigating and serve as a resource for colleagues interested in SoTL. We especially encourage application from those interested in artificial intelligence and its impact on the classroom, as well as broad access in higher education. Additional information about SoTL can be found on the CFE SoTL Resources page, and in this recent recording of a panel workshop of past SoTL fellows. Each SoTL Fellow works closely with CFE and other relevant campus partners, such as the library, to develop and carry out their scholarly project.

2024-2026 Fellow:

Chelsea Horne (CAS | Literature)

Chelsea’s SoTL project seeks to empower students to critically engage with AI by helping them navigate the hype and apprehension surrounding its use in academic settings. The project aims to prepare students to ethically and effectively make informed decisions about AI, and if and when to apply AI tools in their learning as the technology becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life.
