Trade Review
This fifth edition of A Handbook for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education is a thoroughly updated version of this popular and influential work. As always, the book provides not only a firm foundation in the field required by those new to the profession; it also offers thought-provoking materials that are of interest to teachers more established in higher education. Drawing upon multiple disciplinary, institutional, national and cultural perspectives, and written in a very open and user-friendly way, this book serves as the perfect pre-service and in-service companion to those involved in teaching and learning in higher education.
