Book Information

Book Description

The handbook features a collection of concrete activities and ideas that academics teaching in different programmes can use to:

  • help first-year students learn to learn in ways required in higher education, and/or
  • revise their own approaches to assessment, learning and teaching, in order to make higher education more inclusive and set diverse students up for success.

The handbook can be used primarily by academics who teach first-year students. However, it can also help those facilitating professional development at higher education institutions, since research-based ideas will be contextualised for different disciplines and expressed in language clear to those not trained as educators.
