′Refreshing, original and full of pragmatic, evidence-based advice... In
my opinion this is the best book on learning and teaching available to
teachers in H.E. and F.E. today. The environment has changed so quickly
over recent years and Phil Race has not only kept abreast of the
changes; he is way ahead.′ - Professor Ruth Pickford, Director of the
Centre for Learning and Teaching, Leeds Metropolitan University
In the age of digital communication, online learning and MOOCS, Higher
Education Institutions need to be able to offer even more to their
students.
Centred around Phil Race′s well-known ′ripples on a pond′ model, this
accessible discussion of post-compulsory education identifies the
fundamental factors underpinning successful learning and clearly shows
you how to help students learn effectively.
Updates to this third edition include:
- practical 'tips for students' to help you engage your group
- discussion of four literacies students need
- comparative discussion of different forms of assessment
- increased coverage of peer observation and evidence-based practice
- advice on making lectures unmissable
- online resources including printable checklists for use in class
- link to a video interview with the author
This book is a valuable tool for lecturers and tutors in universities
and colleges, post-16 teachers in secondary education, and educational
managers. It also provides a useful resource for postgraduate students
on higher and further education courses and staff development courses.
Phil Race gives keynotes on assessment, feedback, learning and
teaching, and runs interactive training workshops for staff and students
in universities, colleges and other organizations throughout the UK and
abroad.
