New directions in professional higher education

About this book

"At the heart of the book is a series of analytical case studies of developing practices that respond to the challenges to higher education at the start of the new millennium. These chapters address important themes in developing professional higher education: partnership, independent learning, reflective practice, new technologies, intranets, world wide web, distance learning, the international dimension, work readiness, assessment and standards. Many of the case studies test out ideas in action." "The result is a handbook for practitioners of professional education in higher education and an important resource for staff and educational developers and higher education managers."--Jacket.
