From Regional University to Premier Research Institution:
Multiple Forms and Applications of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

scholarship of teaching and university has been integrated into the
academic culture at two very different universities with the suggestion
that universities who actively study their own relationship and history
with SoTL can make some empowering discoveries.

An English professor specializing in the English Renaissance drama,
I served as faculty and administrator at the University of Louisiana
at Monroe for nineteen years. In March 2008, I joined Oxford College
of Emory University as Director of the newly-created Center for Academic
Excellence. Fortunate in the number of fine students I have taught,
I have been recognized by them and my colleagues in a number of ways:
the Scott Professor for Teaching Excellence (1996-99), Outstanding Professor
of the College of Arts and Sciences (2006), the Liberal Arts Teaching
Award (1995), and the English Department Teaching Award (1994). I have
been nominated to Who's Who Among America's Teachers and received recognition
from Marquis Who's Who in America in 2007. My primary research foci
now are faculty development, pedagogy, and the scholarship of teaching
and learning.
