Linking research with teaching is one of the main topics in the educational development world.

Addressing issues at the individual, course and institutional level, and written for an international readership, this will be a key book for course leaders and educational developers.
Educational development is a major issue for higher education institutions (HEIs). It constitutes a major part of the research work of many academics. This practical volume, written by experienced practitioners in the field, is a guide to successfully managing an educational development project.
In this book leading researchers in the field analyse in-depth the many changes that have taken place in learning and teaching in higher education over the last thirty years, with a detailed look at likely and desirable scenarios in the future.

Part of the well-known Staff and Educational Development Series, this practice oriented book brings together leading research and evaluation approaches and supporting case studies from leading educational researchers and innovative teachers. With much emphasis on change, innovation and developing best practice in higher education, it is essential that those involved in actually developing, researching or implementing approaches to teaching, learning or management, are informed by the experiences of others. The emphasis of this book is on changing practice in HE; how developments come about; what research underpins desirable development; and the impact of development of student learning, staff expertise and institutional practice and policy. Specifically, the book is developed in two themed parts: Part A, Supporting change within subjects and departments. Part B, Supporting change within institutions and the wider environment.
This work brings together the experience of educators, trainers and students searching for ways of increasing student motivation. Links between motivation and training, learning and assessment processes are examined through case studies set in a broad range of subject discipline contexts.
Drawing on international case studies, this book explores the theory and practice of the everyday reality of change to promote learning and teaching in universities.
