    53 interesting ways to assess your students offers reflective practitioners in professional and higher education practical ways to develop broad, flexible assessment repertoires. The 53 suggestions are designed to support both assessment of learning and assessment for learning. Topics include written tasks, examinations, problem-based activities, live and authentic forms of assessment, assessment over different timescales, interpersonal aspects - such as group work, student involvement, and feedback - and quality assurance. The book is an accessible introduction to a range of assessment strategies. Although its suggestions draw on educational theories and empirical evidence, this is not its focus; instead, the contributors provide simple descriptions of a variety of approaches, along with brief rationales and practical advice for their use. For those new to assessment, the book clarifies the (usually unwritten) considerations, and helps make informed choices about task-setting. More experienced staff will find a wealth of ideas to adapt and extend their practice, along with information to help justify and implement their choices. The book will also help those responsible for whole academic programmes design an effective, varied, and progressive portfolio of tasks. It would also be a useful aid for staff training or collaborative discussions. 53 interesting ways to assess your students is a revised and updated edition with new contributions and contributors: the original authors were Graham Gibbs, Sue Habeshaw, and Trevor Habeshaw.

    Students today need to learn effectively online. This book provides ways to develop successful online learners in all types of context - fully online or blended, or technology-enriched traditional teaching. The topics covered are wide-ranging. They include: self-organisation and self-awareness; contributing and collaborating; personalizing the learning environment; maximising time on task; and developing practices for lifelong learning. Research has shown that although learners in higher education may be familiar with using technology in their social lives, they do not always use effective strategies when learning online. Drawing on research into student experiences, this book provides 53 practical ideas for teachers and lecturers. Each idea provides a learning activity to help students develop their study skills and habits, so that they can learn confidently and effectively in the digital age. The book is designed to dip into for ideas that dovetail with teachers' own practice.

    As the result of recent changes in the research landscape, researchers are now commonly required to do more than just research. For example, they are often expected to take responsibility for post-research activities, including engagement with government, business, and the public. To meet these expectations, an array of skills is required, including communication, networking, leadership, and the management of stakeholders. The need to develop such skills in researchers presents a challenge to those responsible for their development. These include researcher developers, principal investigators, research supervisors, staff developers, careers professionals, research office staff, and research centre managers. These developers face additional demands from the need to help researchers develop their careers and employability. 53 solutions, each tested in practice, for meeting these challenges are presented here, accompanied by practical advice on their implementation and the potential pitfalls involved. The book's 45 contributors provide strategies drawn from experience across several continents. Designed for dipping into, the book enables those responsible for researcher development to: enrich their approaches; innovate to enhance and embed educational value; and do more with limited resources. Topic areas include: fundamentals; developing professional researchers; researcher communication; peer learning; researcher communities; researcher career development; exerting influence in your institution; and developing a career in researcher development.
