These sections will be enhanced in the new editions and brought to life by the new addition of real-life mini-case studies, which will clearly show readers how the techniques can be applied to great effect in a variety of educational settings. A detailed bibliography will lead readers to further reading should they want to delve deeper into particular areas of teaching or learning. Written by some of the best-known experts in the field of staff development the books offer instant ways to add professionalism and impact to readers' higher education teaching skills.
