Title: MedEdPORTAL Educational Scholarship Guides
MedEdPORTAL ID#:    7700
Version:    1
Resource Type:  Desktop Application
Description:   MedEdPORTAL was designed to serve as a prestigious publishing venue through which faculty may disseminate their educational works. An educational resource successfully peer-reviewed and published through MedEdPORTAL is comparable to a peer-reviewed research paper published through a reputable print-based journal and should be considered compelling scholarly contributions suitable for use to support promotion and tenure decisions.

An AAMC Educational Working Group on Educational Scholarship was established in 2005 and charged to develop a series of educational documents that describe the definition, peer review, publication, and recognition of educational scholarship in higher education. Drawing on the educational scholarship literature, the documents illustrate how published educational works are comparable to other forms of scholarship that are commonly used for promotion and tenure purposes. The following four documents address these issues in more detail:

1) Educational Scholarship Guide for Faculty - A document developed to guide faculty who are considering publishing their educational resources. It presents the fundamentals of educational scholarship and illustrates how educational resource publications as a form of scholarship are comparable to manuscripts that are published in traditional journals.

2) Educational Resources as Scholarship for Promotion/Tenure - A fact sheet created for all faculty and administrators, particularly those who serve on promotion and tenure committees. This fact sheet describes the principles of educational scholarship and how peer-reviewed educational resources may be considered compelling scholarly contributions to support promotion and tenure.

3) Evaluating Educational Scholarship - A worksheet designed to help users evaluate virtually any educational resource based on accepted standards of scholarship.

4) Author Checklist - A practical checklist developed to help authors prepare their educational materials for submission to MedEdPORTAL.
