ABSTRACT

The Lecturer’s Toolkit is a wide-ranging, down-to-earth, practical resource for lecturers and teachers in universities and colleges. Jargon-free and written with authority, clarity and candour, the Toolkit addresses a broad range of aspects of assessment, feedback, learning and teaching, and helps develop many facets of professional practice.

Built around a central agenda of improving the quality of student learning, the Toolkit is outcomes-focused. Building on the strengths of its predecessors, this fourth edition includes strengthened emphasis on assessment and feedback, and designing large-group teaching for the digital age, when students can get easy access to a vast range of learning resource materials online. Coverage includes:

  • how students really learn;
  • designing assessment and feedback to enhance learning;
  • lectures in the digital age;
  • making small-group teaching work;
  • resource-based learning in the digital age;
  • looking after yourself;
  • challenges and reflections.

Fully updated and expanded, this fourth edition of the Toolkit will be an essential and flexible resource for every higher education professional.
