SoTL (Scholarship of Teaching and Learning) IRB Review
We have created a SoTL-specific IRB Review form and consent form, specifically designed to fit with classroom-based research. The sample consent form is appended at the end of the application form.
SoTL research can be reviewed under the limited review process.
