Format:Paperback
Fry et al have captured the difficulties in learning how to teach and give us good practical as well as theoritical advice on how develop as a teacher.
Throughout you are reminded that you are also a learner in the senario and also that learning occurs in numerous ways.
Chapters on supporting learning from expereince and on using information technology remind us of the new agenda in education and also within our own professions and make us think about how we can adapt our teaching for the modern world.
Overall this is a very thought provoking book which is easy to both read as a learning tool or dip into as a reference book.
Format:Paperback
It is a very good book when doing the PG certificate in learning and teaching in higher education. Hard reading when you are not used to the topics explained on it but it has lots of examples that make the theories easier to understands.

The Resource You Need
26 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback
This is an excellent resource for those who just joint academia and would like to teach in higher education but have little experience. This resource will be of great value and will not only provide teachers with key principles of teaching and learning in higher education, it will also provide them with practical approaches to enhance their teaching and develop their career. The book is edited by three experts in the area and the contents are discussed in over 500 pages with 29 chapters covering key topics teachers need to comprehend their teaching. The book was first published in 1999, this third edition enforces key issues discussed in the first and second editions and provide practical examples on teaching. It is a useful resource for teachers in higher education and I would recommend reading it.
