"The concept of constructive alignment has supported generations of students and teachers within higher education. It is a 'backward design' method of teaching where the student outcomes are identified first and the teacher then designs teaching activities to enable students to achieve those outcomes, assessing how well they have been achieved. Each chapter outlines how to design the learning outcomes, teaching and assessments for success in learning. This updated edition of Teaching for Quality Learning at University: provides a comprehensive, research-based theory of teaching for teacher reflection, outlines how educational technology can be used in constructively aligned teaching, helps staff developers to provide support for staff and departments in line with institutional policies, offers a framework for quality assurance and quality enhancement across a whole institution. Teaching for Quality Learning at University continues to be used as a framework for designing higher education teaching systems globally and is essential reading for those in the field." -- provided by publisher
