SOTL
The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at the University of Johannesburg (SOTL@UJ) – towards a socially just pedagogy has been set up at the University of Johannesburg as from May 2014. The purpose of the project is for academics and academic developers to come together to explore approaches towards the scholarship of teaching and learning, which will advance socially just teaching and teaching for social justice. A very early draft conceptual framework is contained in the page on Conceptual Framework.

Tutor Development
Tutors at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) play an integral part in student teaching and learning. In order to play this role, CASD staff and academic staff support, develop and mentor tutors. Tutorials are not lectures but rather provide opportunities for students to gain subject specific guidance and support from senior students. Tutorials also offer safe spaces where students can actively engage with the subject content, their tutors and fellow students. Tutors provide immediate feedback to students, can provide individualised academic support and often refer students to other appropriate support services at UJ. CASD staff train tutors at the start of each academic year to equip them with the necessary skills to facilitate student learning. Tutors also attend check-in sessions, as presented by CASD staff, throughout the year to continue honing their tutoring skills.
