ABSTRACT
Interest in the use of learning contracts in further and higher education is rising rapidly. In response to an invitation from Higher Education for Capability (HEC), University of East London (UEL) and Digital Equipment Company Ltd, 200 people assembled in London in February 1992 to explore the theoretical and practical aspects of using learning contracts in higher education. Thirty examples of current practice were presented. This book draws on the evidence presented at that conference and formulates some propositions about the nature and possible future uses of learning contracts across a wide spectrum of situations.
