The Lecturer's Toolkit is a wide-ranging, down-to-earth, practical resource for lecturers and teachers in universities and colleges. Jargon-free and written with authority, clarity and candour, the Toolkit addresses a broad range of aspects of assessment, feedback, learning and teaching, and helps develop many facets of professional practice.
Built around a central agenda of improving the quality of student learning, the Toolkit is outcomes-focused. Building on the strengths of its predecessors, this fourth edition includes strengthened emphasis on assessment and feedback, and designing large-group teaching for the digital age, when students can get easy access to a vast range of learning resource materials online. Coverage includes:
how students really learn;
designing assessment and feedback to enhance learning;
lectures in the digital age;
making small-group teaching work;
resource-based learning in the digital age;
looking after yourself;
challenges and reflections.
Fully updated and expanded, this fourth edition of the Toolkit will be an essential and flexible resource for every higher education professional.

"If you currently favour traditional lecturing and written examinations, The Lecturer's Toolkit may contain a series of revelations.
