Patterns of Practice Volume 1 Issue 1

In this, our first issue of Patterns of Practice, we have chosen to begin our journal’s life by exploring the perception of authenticity in higher education (HE) in the collated contributions that follow. Rather than use this editorial space to review our general aims and aspirations for our new Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) journal and for SoTL in the UK as a whole, we have taken the opportunity, within the theme of ‘authenticity’, to provide a longer discussion of the aims and remit of the journal in our first article contribution, removing it from this brief editorial discussion.
