TWO papers in 2008 and 2009 which my former tutor at Surrey University, UK, Dr. Lewis Elton wrote, were both an early advocacy of the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). In those papers he discussed why SoTL can properly be linked to the continuing professional development (CPD) of academics. In the mid 1990s, while serving as professor of higher education at the University College London (UCL), Lewis founded the Higher Education Research and Development Unit, later named the Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching and more recently, in February 2017, was renamed as the UCL Arena Centre for Research-Based Education.. In adopting this new label, the teaching center comes up with three UCL initiatives, namely: “1) the UCL connected curriculum which embeds research and enquiry in all levels of the students learning, 2) the UCL Arena with its resources, networks and development for UCL staff who teach and 3) the UCL Change Makers which refer to students and staff working in partnership to enhance learning.”
