Innovation and Scholarship of Learning and Teaching (iSoLT)
Content Box
iSoLT Framework
The iSoLT framework is designed to support the development of a Curtin wide cross disciplinary community of practice for the scholarship of Teaching and Learning. iSoLT is a transformative and rigorous approach to research in Higher Education that makes epistemological, methodological, evidence-based decisions about curriculum design, pedagogy, and how teaching and learning innovations impact on learners (Huball 2012).
Capacity building of staff is the focus of the framework beginning with individual development of scholarly teaching practice in Enhance, moving to a local disciplinary focus on iSoLT Leadership development in Enrich. Expand is about developing multidisciplinary iSoLT leadership, where research extends beyond the confines of a singular disciplinary paradigm, to create a broader fluid iSoLT discourse where research collaborations are disseminated to the broader public (Webb 2019).
