SELECTED SCHOLARSHIP ON TEACHING AND LEARNING at ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY
CALL FOR PAPERS AND REVIEWERS, 2018-2019
Overview:
First published in 2009, Gauisus highlighted work in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) by faculty and students at Illinois State University. In FY14, Gauisus was reconceived as a multimedia publication to include all types of SoTL work taking place at ISU. A second volume was published online in spring 2014 (gauisus.weebly.com). Consistent with ISU’s definition of SoTL and Educating Illinois’ mission to enhance SoTL across campus, Gauisus promotes the work of ISU personnel seeking to make public their systematic study/reflections of the teaching and learning of ISU students. This publication is sponsored by the Cross Endowed Chair in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. For more information about SoTL, refer to SoTL.IllinoisState.edu. The sixth volume of Gauisus was published in 2018.
Why Gauisus? “Gauisus” is the Latin word for gladly or joyfully. Prior to the publication of its first volume, the name Gauisus was selected for this publication to match the motto of Illinois State University: gladly we learn and teach. Gauisus is the celebration of scholarly teaching and learning at ISU.
