Integrating the Scholarship of Teaching, Learning, and Research Supervision into Communications Education

Although the SoTL movement has gathered a large following within the academic community in recent years, adoption of SoTL by communications and other engineering disciplines is still in its early stages. While many works have been devoted to SoTL as a scholarly process, relatively few have considered the institutional or discipline-specific context within which SoTL is practiced. Here, we consider how the principles of SoTL can help inform teaching, learning, and research supervision within the engineering disciplines; recommend best practices for planning, conducting, and presenting SoTL-based research in communications education and training; and reveal how the IEEE Communications Society proposes to help promote SoTL activity in communications education and training.
