Book Information

Book Description

This book will provide new and experienced teachers, tutors, educators, mentors and supervisors ready access to current and future-focused thinking about how to design and implement learning and teaching experiences that work in the context of vocational education and training, in the workplace, workshop or classroom. The practical guide makes dynamic links between theory and practice in explaining the process of designing for learning. From writing a learning programme to engaging with students, designing assessments and implementing a range of teaching strategies, the writers use an approach that recognises learning as an integrated process of engaged learning and experience. The text is designed to support teaching as a creative and continuous process of designing, delivering, assessing learning and evaluating teaching. It can be used by educators and those associated with learning in the workplace as a reference and a source of ideas to help guide their thinking and practice. The resource is designed to dip in and out of and to enhance programmes of learning in and for the workplace.
