Nakatani Teaching and Learning Center
The Nakatani Teaching and Learning Center (NTLC) supports teaching, learning and SoTL research at UW-STout. NTLC facilitates conversations, coordinates events, training and offers stipends for instructors.
The Community of Practice (CoP) program is a voluntary, year-long program focusing on a chosen topic or issue about enhancing teaching and learning. Guidance for studying a topic is provided with participants meeting on a regular basis conducting research, analyzing results, and disseminating their findings. A financial incentive is provided to instructors who complete the program.

Introduction to the Research Skills Development (RSD) Framework
The Research Skills Development (RSD) Framework, initiated by John Willison and Kerry O'Regan (Adelaide, AU), is a tool used to analyze and plan curriculum for the systematic development of students' research skills. The framework is descriptive, scalable, and useful for assignment, course or program planning purposes.
- Getting Started with the RSD
An explanation of the development and basis for the RSD, and links to guidelines and examples for applying the framework.

The seven-level Researcher Skill Development framework extends the RSD's original five levels of student autonomy to include skills associated with early, middle and late career researchers.
- Articles Related to RSDIncludes the originating article (Willison & O'Regan, 2007), RSD applications, other undergraduate research frameworks, and papers critiquing RSD.
- Examples of RSD ApplicationsExamples of the RSD applied organized by discipline, task type and other.
