ABSTRACT

This book arose out of a conference organized by the Staff and Educational Development Association (SEDA) and the Society for Research into Higher Education (SRHE) Educational Development Research Network in April 1999. The conference, entitled ‘Research and Practice in Educational Development(s): Exploring the links’, sought to enable participants to share experiences of practice, research and policy in all types of educational developments, encompassing a variety of techniques and technologies. The conference was aimed at, and attracted, teachers in higher education, learning support staff, educational developers, academics and managers with responsibility for teaching and learning policy developments, researchers, and independent educational consultants.
