"Providing accessible accounts of new developments, it outlines how to apply learning theory and best practice to everyday teaching, and provides advice on overcoming problems of implementation. Evidence is drawn from both funded projects and innovative practitioners from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds, and covers areas including approaches to learning, working with students, enhancing the progress and development of students and supporting and developing your own practice."
