Changing university learning and teaching : engaging and mobilising leadership, quality and technology

"Changing university learning and teaching: engaging and mobilising leadership, quality and technology seeks to contribute original and significant research to the field of university learning and teaching. The increasing prominence of this field is reflected in the growing influence of institutions such as the Carrick Institute for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education in Australia and the Higher Education Academy in the United Kingdom and in the enhanced breadth and depth of the scholarship of learning and teaching, with a number of specialised academic journals and research centres. The book is directed at two intersecting elements of university learning and teaching, each focused on a different sense of the key term changing: as an adjective, to map and understand the several ways in which learning and teaching in higher education are continuously adapting and mutating in response to multiple pressures and stimuli; as a gerund, to record and interrogate the ongoing efforts by the contributing authors and many others to maximise the transformative potential of that learning and teachings."--Provided by publisher
