One of the most counter-intuitive insights in our roles as educators is the hugely untapped opportunity to look at our students as fertile ground for doing research about our own research! The usual thing to do in our classrooms is to teach our students about theories / concepts and how these frameworks help us better understand, explain and anticipate a complex world. But what if we also do the “opposite” and ask our own students about what they think about these theories and research in a way that will provide us with deeper insights about how they are thinking (and not thinking) about them?

This Roundtable Teaching and Learning session brings together a distinguished line of three seasoned educators to share their experience in how they tap into student to advance the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Come and join us!
