Hello , I'm Dr Megan Hennessey , 

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,742
director of the Air University Teaching 

3
00:00:04,742 --> 00:00:06,909
and Learning Center . The Teaching and 

4
00:00:06,909 --> 00:00:09,076
Learning Center is excited to host the 

5
00:00:09,076 --> 00:00:11,300
2021 Joint Professional Military 

6
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:13,890
Education Scholarship of Teaching and 

7
00:00:13,890 --> 00:00:17,470
Learning Forum , or J . Soto Forum . J . 

8
00:00:17,470 --> 00:00:19,920
Soto Forum fills a gap in Caledonia 

9
00:00:19,930 --> 00:00:22,097
addressing the scholarship of teaching 

10
00:00:22,097 --> 00:00:24,208
and learning specific to professional 

11
00:00:24,208 --> 00:00:26,120
military education . Today , I'll 

12
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,287
answer some frequently asked questions 

13
00:00:28,287 --> 00:00:31,900
about this unique conference . Just 

14
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:34,233
like other scientific fields of inquiry , 

15
00:00:34,233 --> 00:00:36,011
The scholarship of teaching and 

16
00:00:36,011 --> 00:00:37,900
learning is a field of research . 

17
00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:39,956
Research . Questions can investigate 

18
00:00:39,956 --> 00:00:42,220
all facets of teaching , learning and 

19
00:00:42,220 --> 00:00:44,350
instructional design in multiple 

20
00:00:44,350 --> 00:00:45,950
perspectives and in diverse 

21
00:00:45,950 --> 00:00:48,730
environments . Methods to explore these 

22
00:00:48,730 --> 00:00:50,620
questions can be quantitative , 

23
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:53,810
qualitative or a mixture of both . In 

24
00:00:53,810 --> 00:00:55,588
some cases , the scholarship of 

25
00:00:55,588 --> 00:00:57,754
teaching and learning includes applied 

26
00:00:57,754 --> 00:00:59,921
research , where interventions such as 

27
00:00:59,921 --> 00:01:02,143
the use of a new type of technology are 

28
00:01:02,143 --> 00:01:04,421
introduced to the learning environment . 

29
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,007
A question that might be posed in that 

30
00:01:07,007 --> 00:01:09,007
case is due . Students learn better 

31
00:01:09,007 --> 00:01:11,860
Because of this technology , the study 

32
00:01:11,860 --> 00:01:14,082
would be carefully designed to consider 

33
00:01:14,082 --> 00:01:16,190
what indicators of performance or 

34
00:01:16,190 --> 00:01:18,301
behavior suggests that students learn 

35
00:01:18,301 --> 00:01:20,480
better and how those indicators can be 

36
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,420
linked to the use of this certain 

37
00:01:22,430 --> 00:01:26,260
technology . First and foremost , this 

38
00:01:26,260 --> 00:01:28,204
conference focuses on professional 

39
00:01:28,204 --> 00:01:30,630
military education . We welcome 

40
00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:32,797
attendees from military and government 

41
00:01:32,797 --> 00:01:34,686
backgrounds both in the U . S and 

42
00:01:34,686 --> 00:01:36,630

colleagues in civilian higher education 

44
00:01:38,940 --> 00:01:41,680
and K through 12 education . Some 

45
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,540
presentations may also be interesting 

46
00:01:44,750 --> 00:01:46,806
to those who work in the educational 

47
00:01:46,806 --> 00:01:49,150
technology industry . The free and 

48
00:01:49,150 --> 00:01:51,440
virtual format of the J Subtle Forum 

49
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,791

different organizations around the 

52
00:01:59,344 --> 00:02:02,860
