Rachel If you are still looking.... One of the resources we give to new staff on our PGCHE course at Leeds Metropolitan is 'In at the Deep End: starting to teach in higher education' by Phil Race. It contains sections on lectures, small-group teaching, assessment and feedback, and dealing with problems. Anyone wishing to customise this for their own institution can do so by purchasing a site licence (which many universities in the UK and overseas have done), which will permit you to republish it with, for example, your own preface and design. If you want to have a look at it, a sample copy is available at: www.leedsmet.ac.uk/publications If you want to take it further our Internal Communications Manager, Andrea Rayner can best advise.

The course we run covers all aspects of academic practice, that is, teaching, learning and assessment and research management and supervision. I would be interested to hear from colleagues running similar types of programmes/courses as to what you use and would recommend.
