Laurie Richlin, in "Blueprint for Learning" (Stylus, 2006), presented the following distinction between scholarly teaching and the scholarship of teaching and learning:

Scholarly Teaching Process:

1. Identify big questions in a course
2. Select teaching goals
3. Design learning objectives
4. Consult literature
5. Choose and use learning experiences
6. Conduct systematic observation and assessment
7. Document observations
8. Analyze results
9. Obtain peer evaluation

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning:

1. Take results from scholarly teaching process...
2. Identify key issues
3. Synthesize results
4. Place results into context of knowledge base
5. Prepare manuscript
6. Submit for peer review
7. Disseminate - publish and present

The International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning
