ABSTRACT
This book is intended primarily for relatively inexperienced teachers in higher education. Established lecturers interested in exploring recent developments in teaching, learning and assessment will also find the book valuable. It has much to offer others in higher education and beyond (for example clinicians in the National Health Service) who have supporting roles in teaching and learning. It will be of interest also to computing and information technology staff, librarians, technical staff, researchers, graduate teaching assistants, and foreign language assistants. Those coming into the sector from overseas, business, industry or the professions will find the book a useful introduction to the practice of teaching in universities in the UK. Senior managers in the sector may also find it a useful way of updating themselves about current imperatives and practices. The handbook also has much to offer others working with adult learners.
