Overview

Focussing on issues concerning effective teaching and learning with technology, this is a key book in the Case Studies of Teaching in HE Series. As technology becomes more integrated in teaching, so HE professionals need to consider how to make the best effective use of technologies, and how they can be used in an integrated way to really improve learning and teaching. The principle message of this book is that the use of technology must be driven by student need. Using case studies and detailed practical experiences from around the world, it shows how technology can be applied to improve learning, access and choice. Rather than focussing on technology itself, the book is usefully organized according to issues of learning. It will be valuable reading for all HE professionals who are under pressure to make their teaching more effective.
