Dr. Jennifer C. Friberg-Fort

Jen Friberg-Fort is the Cross Endowed Chair in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning and a Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois, USA.

Her areas of focus with research and public speaking center on evidence-informed teaching and learning, particularly in the areas of teaching in the time of generative artificial intelligence, building trust in the classroom, transparent teaching, and student motivation.

Jen is also the owner of Friberg Higher Education Consulting, LLC., a group that specializes in the development of workshops, educational development programs, and consultancy services on the topics of evidence-informed teaching and learning, the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), and accreditation for CSD programs.

Away from work, Jen enjoys traveling, spending time with her husband, children, and (very spoiled) dogs.

Jen is the founding associate editor and a founding member of the Board of Directors for TLCSD, and has authored or co-authored the following papers in this journal:

• Using the Grand Challenges for SoTL to Guide, Connect, and Extend Scholarship in Communication Sciences and Disorders (2026)
• Visions of the Possible: Reflections on the Faculty/Student Co-Inquirer Relationship (with Mary Smyers and Lisa Vinney)
• Establishing A Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Fellows Program (with Mark DeRuiter)

SoTL in the States is a space for scholars navigating the current U.S. landscape of teaching, learning, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. Grounded in the conviction that SoTL is always contextual, this site focuses on this American moment, one that calls for sustained attention and resources for doing SoTL under pressure. SoTL in the States was co-founded by Jen Friberg-Fort and her colleague, Dr. Nancy Chick.

Friberg Higher Education Consulting, LLC provides consulting services focused on the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), evidence-informed pedagogy, and accreditation practices in communication sciences and disorders. Inquire about possibilities for workshops, professional development resources, consultations, or other forms of support at:

Formally established in 2025, Friberg Higher Education Consulting emerged from sustained and broad engagement of its owner, Jennifer Friberg-Fort, in professional development across a variety of topics central to teaching and learning in the last two decades. This company was formed with the hope of engaging a diverse group of experts in helping to support the specific needs and priorities of individuals and groups seeking to explore topics in support of student and faculty success.

To support teaching and learning in the age of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI):

• GenAI Usage Expectation Levels (with David Giovagnoli)
• Decision Tree for GenAI Usage (with David Giovagnoli)
• Transparency in Teaching and Learning (TiLT) in the Age of GenAI

To support the scholarship of teaching and learning and those doing that work, particularly in the United States (published as part of the SoTL in the States resource website):

• Reframing Identity to Conditions (with Nancy Chick)
• Asking "For Whom" in SoTL Inquiry (with Nancy Chick)
• Rethinking Who We Study (with Nancy Chick)

The SoTL Advocate blog was started in 2014 in an effort to support the scholarship of teaching and learning at and beyond Illinois State University. The blog posted content regularly through early 2020, but was largely sunset at that time, due to the global pandemic and its impacts in higher education.
