Emerging Strategies for Supporting Student Learning provides a
straightforward and accessible guide to the latest learning and
teaching practices appropriate for use with higher education
students. It is both an exciting and challenging time to be working
in higher education as the sector experiences rapid changes
including: an increasingly diverse student population with changing
expectations; changes in technology including the rise in the use
of social media; increased emphasis on employability and
internationalisation; development of new social learning spaces; as
well as an ever-decreasing resource base. As a result of these
changes, new approaches to supporting student learning are
developing rapidly. In the past five years, developments in both
the theory and practice of learning and teaching have created a
complex landscape which it is sometimes difficult to navigate.
Emerging Strategies for Supporting Student Learning provides
practical guidance and brings together theory and practice in an
accessible style. The book covers a wide range of tools and
techniques (relevant to face-to-face, blended learning and online
practices) which will suit students in different contexts from
large groups of 500+ to very small classes of research students.
This practical book makes extensive use of case studies, examples,
checklists and tables and contains; an analysis of the current
higher education landscape, the changes that are occurring and the
diverse nature of students populations; an exploration of new
theories of digital literacy including case studies demonstrating
how library and information workers have applied these models in
practice; a demonstration of the many different ways in which
academic library and information services are working in support of
student employability; a theoretical overview of different
approaches to teaching and learning including Kolb's learning
cycle, Laurillard's conversational framework for university
teaching, Entwistle's teaching for understanding at university,
Land and Meyer's threshold concepts, and the Higher Education
Academy's work on flexible pedagogies; practical guidance on
designing, developing and evaluating courses and other learning and
teaching events in different situations in including face-to-face,
flipped classroom, blended learning, and online learning; an
exploration of approaches to personal and professionals development
including 90+ approaches to workplace learning, accredited courses,
short courses, conferences and workshops, networking through
professional organisations, and developing online networks.
Emerging Strategies for Supporting Student Learning will be
essential reading for different groups working in colleges and
universities including library and information workers, staff
developers, educational technologists, educational development
project workers, educational change agents and students of library
and information science who are planning their careers in higher
education institutions.
