Enhancing the Quality of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

Abstract

Universities in the UK have given prominence in their strategic objectives to quality teaching and yet many of these statements are extremely vague and say little about the learning experience their students might expect. Argues for two activities: the operationalization of such generic statements; and the use of quality assurance mechanisms to ensure that specific features of teaching are delivered in practice. Provides illustrative lists of the elements such an approach might entail.
