ABSTRACT

This book is about the development of learning and teaching in higher education. In particular, it examines developments in learning, learning technologies and teaching in higher education that have occurred over approximately the last 30 years. It examines these developments in a number of ways and from a number of perspectives. Different chapters look at different aspects of learning and teaching and do so in different ways. However, there are two things that hold these chapters together. First, there is a commitment to start with the learner, be they student or teacher, when thinking about ways of developing learning and teaching in higher education. Second, there is a commitment to making sense of past changes in learning and teaching in higher education in order to offer an insight into how they might be developed in the future.
