Dear All,

 

New Book

 

With the usual apologies for any cross-postings

 

This new book may be of particular interest to those running or working on higher education teacher accreditation courses, but also to those who are interested in the contested relation between learning and teaching and academic practice in general:

 

Enhancing Learning and Teaching in Higher Education: engaging with the dimensions of practice, edited by John Lea

 

This new book from Open University Press looks at learning and teaching in higher education in the wider context of its role in academic practice overall.  Its distinctive features include:

 

* Contributions from leading scholars in the field, practitioners writing about their roles and experiences, and the views of students

 

* Explicit links to the UKPSF and practical advice on how to put together a scholarly narrative account of your academic practice in order to seek fellowship status with the UK-based Higher Education Academy (HEA)

 

* An exploration of the contested nature of academic practice, inviting you to interrogate how this can be negotiated within your own learning and teaching context
