In this article, a model of evidence-based practice is presented that engaged graduate students and instructors from the discipline of communication sciences and disorders (CSD) in evidence-based education through the use of the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). This article can serve as a starting point for other instructors interested in engaging in SoTL in their own CSD classrooms.

In this paper we present the results of a scholarship of teaching and learning research project we conducted in 2016/17 at Renaissance College, University of New Brunswick. Our case study describes the challenges and successes of the student-centered re-design of a course about social entrepreneurship, a mandatory component of an undergraduate interdisciplinary leadership program. In particular, the project aimed at improvingStudents' engagement, andStudents' satisfactionparticularly for students who start the course at a lower engagement level.We first systematically evaluated pre-existing data on earlier runs of the course. Then we conducted interviews and a focus group with graduates in 2016 which provided additional information. The analysis of this dataset informed our comprehensive and systematic evidence-based redesign of the course for the offering in the winter of 2017. Finally, we used targeted surveys in March 2017 that provided data on the results of the course redesign and on student learning.In summary, the data suggested that the redesign of this course has significantly improved students’ learning experience, the clarity of course requirements, and students’ self-directed learning. This paper may be helpful also for scholarship of teaching and learning projects in other fields of study aiming at adult learner oriented and evidence-based course redesign.

The American Physiological Society Teaching Section has developed a biennial Institute on Teaching and Learning (ITL) through the APS Conference Program. The first ITL was held in June 2014, and the second ITL will be in June 2016. A Physiology Education Community of Practice was created to help connect the institute participants and other physiology educators to share evidence-based teaching in physiology at all education levels and ideas for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning and Discipline-Based Education Research in physiology. This editorial describes the origins and outcomes of the ITL and the advantages of joining the Physiology Education Community of Practice.

Assessment is an ongoing process that is necessary at every stage of designing, implementing, and evaluating simulation-based learning experiences (SBLEs). Designing and aligning a high-quality assessment process provides instructors and researchers with valuable data to understand if students have met the desired simulation learning objectives, where students are in their learning, and opportunities to enhance the SBLE. This reflection discusses the importance of assessing student learning outcomes as well as the effectiveness of all simulation-based learning experiences (SBLEs) in communication sciences and disorders (CSD). While the benefits and effectiveness of simulation have been demonstrated in other health professions, simulation research is in its beginning in CSD. Building the evidence to inform systematic integration of simulation into CSD curricula and to further best practices in our field is essential. Further, to advance the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) in simulation, researchers and instructors must disseminate their findings, measures and tools, assessment processes, and even simulation scenarios. Dissemination serves to enhance evidence-based education practices and further validate the assessment processes we are using to ensure quality simulation.

Abstract The intent of this article is to share my research endeavors in order to raise awareness of issues relative to what and how we teach as a means to spark interest in applying the scholarship of teaching and learning to what we do as faculty in communication sciences and disorders (CSD). My own interest in teaching and learning emerged rather abruptly after I introduced academic service-learning (AS-L) into one of my graduate courses (Stevens, 2002). To better prepare students to enter our profession, I have provided them with unique learning opportunities working with various community partners including both speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and teachers who supported persons with severe communication disorders.
