Introduction: Teaching with Technology in the Social Sciences

This chapter provides an overview of the book and its contributions to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). It begins with a brief introduction to the teaching context and a discussion of the aims and rationale for the implementation of the projects reported on in each chapter. The editors argue that by sharing our innovative uses of technology in our teaching practices across social science disciplines, it can help us improve our teaching and students’ learning. In addition to inter-disciplinary research, we also need to consider inter-disciplinary SoTL.
